Editorial reading
Château d’Ouge is a private château of the 16th and 19th centuries. The Comité des Parcs et Jardins de France describes a park of about five hectares, with some 500 trees representing roughly 160 species; almost all planting dates from 1980 onwards. The collection includes around thirty kinds of oak, shrubs, perennials and roses. A Renaissance-style garden precedes the house, a French-style garden combines fountain, basin and topiary, and an Asian-inspired garden surrounds a pond.
Recommendation
The interest lies in the relationship between a historic house and a comparatively recent plant collection. Look for the change from formal composition near the château to the varied tree planting. Confirm current visiting arrangements with the owners before travelling.
