Jardins d'Albertas, French formal garden in Bouc-Bel-Air, France.
The gardens extend across multiple terraces featuring fountains, a grand canal, and statues of Hercules, David, gladiators, and eight tritons.
Jean-Baptiste Albertas, president of the cour des comptes of Aix-en-Provence, established these gardens in 1751 on land owned by his family since 1673.
The garden design merges Italian Renaissance elements with French formal garden principles, reflecting the architectural preferences of 18th-century European nobility.
The gardens welcome visitors from May through September, with guided tours available during Heritage Days and special plant exhibitions in May.
Four natural springs supply water to the garden's numerous fountains, creating a continuous flow through the grand canal and water features.
