Editorial reading
The Comité des Parcs et Jardins de France describes a French-style garden at Maupas, Morogues, with five rose beds. A shaded avenue leads towards the court of honour and parterres with Renaissance-inspired patterns. The terrace looks over the surrounding Pays Fort countryside. The directory credits a 20th-century park restoration to Fernand Rolin, landscape architect for the city of Bourges. This recorded restoration should be distinguished from the several architectural periods represented in the château.
Recommendation
Approach along the avenue and notice how the garden turns from enclosed geometry towards the wider countryside. The parterre patterns and roses are the clearest features to look for. The garden is part of a private estate; verify its current opening arrangements through the château’s own visitor information.
