Jean Mus : Le bonheur de vivre

Heir to the knowledge passed down by his father, a poet of plants and lover of nature, Mediterranean landscape architect Jean Mus has designed more than 15,000 gardens around the world, from Provence to California. The spiritual heir to Le Nôtre, Ferdinand Bac and Russell Page, he creates landscapes that respect the spirit of the place, the light, the wind and the local species. His gardens combine curved lines, water features, endemic vegetation and harmony for the five senses. Both rooted in tradition and subtly modern, they offer a breath of fresh air in the face of urbanisation.

In this book, Jean Mus opens the doors to his world, sharing intimate memories, sensitive observations and a plea for respect for the earth. He presents 30 of his creations, revealing his discreet and sensual style, which enchants and connects man to the earth with thoughtful and poetic simplicity.
