Château de Brantes, Historic château and remarkable garden in Sorgues, France
The gardens feature three mirror pools arranged along a central axis, where water from the nearby Sorgue River flows through gravity systems.
Pierre del Bianco, marquis of Brantes and papal troops paymaster in Avignon, constructed the château in 1700, with General de Cessac expanding it in 1816.
Danish landscape architect Mogens Tvede designed the gardens in 1959, incorporating boxwood alignments, cypress trees, and grass parterres into the layout.
The gardens welcome visitors from Easter to All Saints' Day, with guided tours available in French, English, and German by appointment between 10:00 and 18:00.
The property contains one of Europe's largest magnolia grandiflora specimens, measuring 5.50 meters in circumference among its century-old landscaping elements.
