Le Jardin japonais du Château de Courances - Courances, France - Japanese Gardens on Waymarking.com

[FR] En effet, Berthe de Ganay l’a esquissé avec l’aide de Kitty Lloyd-Jones, une élève de Gertrude Jekyll, celle qui a inventé le principe du « mixed-border » anglais.

L’Extrême-Orient est seulement évoqué en jouant par exemple avec la taille nuage !

Narcisses, tulipes, jacinthes y font le printemps, tandis que l’automne s’y habille des couleurs flamboyantes que lui prêtent les érables du Japon, les hêtres pourpres et les liquidambars.

Profitez de la vue sur le Jardin japonais depuis la terrasse du salon de thé de la Foulerie !

[EN] Indeed, Berthe designed it with the help of Kitty Lloyd Jones, a student of Gertrude Jekyll, who invented the principle of the English mixed-border.

The Far East is brought to mind by playing with the “cloud” pruning, a Japanese tradition, on shrubs and bushes from our regions.

Daffodils, tulips, hyacinths all blossom here in the spring, while autumn takes on flamboyant colours heralded by Japanese maples, copper beeches and liquidambar trees.

Take advantage of the view of the Japanese garden from the terrace of La Foulerie tea room!
