The seventeenth-century French garden of Réveillon

Built in 1607 by Claude II d’Ancienville and completed in the mid-eighteenth century by Jules Robert de Cotte, Réveillon in the Marne keeps a park of the second half of the seventeenth century that the record calls characteristic of the jardin à la française.

From the source

It is protected as a monument historique at the higher of the two levels (classé). Details are drawn from the Base Mérimée of the French Ministry of Culture.

Editorial reading

The record is brief and clear: château begun in 1607, ensemble finished in the middle of the eighteenth century by Jules Robert de Cotte, park of the second half of the seventeenth century, characteristic of French formal gardens. The château was classified in 1948; in 1996 the classification was extended to the whole domain, architectural parts and garden alike. The long lawn axis and the gate seen today belong to that ensemble.

Recommendation

A French garden classified as a garden, not as the surroundings of a house — the axis is the monument.
