Characteristics of French Gardens: Main Features

The main characteristics of French gardens are: based on the aesthetic principle of geometric figures, with the guiding ideology of "forcing nature to accept the law of symmetry", pursuing a pure and artificially carved beauty of clothing.

Gardens usually adopt geometric symmetry layout, with clear axis and symmetrical relationship running through the whole garden. Ponds, squares, trees, sculptures, buildings, roads, etc. Are arranged in sequence on the central axis. At the starting point of the axis height, tall and rigorous symmetrical buildings are often arranged, which control the axis and the axis controls the garden.

"Italy in the Renaissance, France in the Classical Period." The French didn't fully accept the garden style imported from Italy, but used the buildings, roads, flower beds, pools and flowers and trees with very neat shapes to weave beautiful patterns like embroidery, forming a very organized and orderly classical style garden.

Here, nature seems to have been completely tamed, and the scenery seems to have become an artificial work of art.
