We've rounded up ten of our favorite French gardens to pay a visit to in springtime.

In classical French garden design, water features are essential elements that embody elegance, symmetry, and grandeur. Often found in the gardens of chateaus and palaces, these water features include grand reflecting pools, fountains, canals, and ponds, each meticulously placed to emphasize order and harmony. #waterfeature #french #formalgarden #garden #gardendesign #inspiration #sculpture #ai

French Formal Gardens, Oheka Castle Gardens, Huntington, New York

For this week, I explored gardens, specifically luxurious, huge hedge mazes and art such as this photograph called the Château de Hautefort in Dordogne, uploaded by Francetoday. I love how grand and the attention to detail to every hedge shape. When looking from afar, it creates this beautiful art piece with lines and movement.
