The record sets out three spaces. At the centre, the gardens intra muros: cour d’honneur, the court of the outbuildings with its lower garden, the tower and the wall-walk, the two courts divided by a hornbeam gallery between which water runs from a round basin to a fountain set against the charmille. To the south, the terrace garden, on the footprint of the seventeenth-century garden: three spaces laid out in the second half of the twentieth century in place of the old kitchen garden — an enfilade of green rooms, a quincunx of walnut trees and the pavilion garden. To the north, the irregular landscape park. The hornbeam allée and the eighteenth-century allée d’honneur belong to the historic layers.
