The record gives the garden its own history. From the early sixteenth century until the end of the Ancien Régime the gardens stayed within the quadrilateral in front of the western façade, framed by a network of canals. In 1789 a larger scheme of classical inspiration was drawn up: to the south the pond was reshaped as a water mirror with a curved, 'eared' outline, and the ground to the north was partly reorganised. Laid out in the English manner in the nineteenth century, the garden was all but abandoned around 1920. The 2016 listing covers the ground of the present garden west of the château with the ditches that bound it, the water mirror, the enclosure walls, the gate of the forecourt’s demi-lune and the two forecourt pavilions.
