Château de la Ballue, 17th-century castle and gardens in Bazouges-la-Pérouse, France.
The castle's gardens present geometrical patterns with triangular flowerbeds, wisteria tunnels, and numerous topiary sculptures throughout multiple outdoor sections.
Built during the reign of Louis XIII, the castle became a central location for French royalist movements during the Revolution in the late 18th century.
Notable French writers including Balzac, Victor Hugo, and Musset frequented the castle, contributing to its literary significance in French cultural history.
The castle provides five guest rooms with modern amenities, including access to a heated swimming pool and Finnish spa from March through November.
The gardens incorporate a system of plant labyrinths and organic sculptural forms that create optical effects through carefully planned perspectives.
