Les jardins de William Christie. Enchantements

William Christie, harpsichordist, conductor, founder of Les Arts Florissants and member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, has created an enchanted microcosm around a late-Renaissance Vendée mansion to which he has restored all its former glory, where music, the Baroque spirit, the art of gardening, a passion for heritage and the talent to pass on all come together in a single long-term adventure.

From the Logis to the gardens, from the Festival to the Artists' Quarter, from the lovingly restored old stones to the rural banks of the Smagne, this book reveals the many facets of this estate, from the most sparkling to the most secret, between erudition and creativity, between utopia and poetry, between rigour and fantasy.
