A romantic garden through the ages

Let's go back in time. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the art of gardening was in the throes of change.
Landscape gardeners were turning away from the rectilinear designs of French gardens towards English or Romantic gardens, skilfully orchestrated by man to provoke emotion and surprise as you stroll through remarkable trees, dense copses, grottoes, small bridges or kiosks.
At the end of the 18th century, Jacques Berthault acquired 28 hectares of land at Les Fontaines. His son, Louis Martin Berthault, architect, decorator and above all landscaper (notably to Empress Eugénie), transformed it into a romantic garden, whose freshness and soul can still be felt today.
More than 200 years later, it's still possible to walk around the pond, admire the islands, take the footbridges and discover the grottoes.
While you're on Campus, take a moment to wander down these winding paths, discover the remaining traces of Berthault's romantic garden and indulge in the contemplation of nature and its charm.
