Garden with 20 ornamental pavilions (7 of which can still be seen today) that refer to different civilizations.

Designed by François Racine de Monville, the Desert de Retz is a kind of small paradise on earth that invites contemplation. Bordering the forest of Marly, this 40-hectare garden is an enchantment, with ornamental pavilions and 20 fabriques referencing different civilizations. Over time, the site changed ownership several times and fell into disrepair, before being classified as a Historic Monument. Open to the public for guided and self-guided tours, major restoration work is still underway to safeguard this heritage treasure.

Lieu intéressant avec une histoire et certainement des passionnés dans la fondation mais je trouve trop cher 10 euros pour visiter un beau parc bien entretenu une visite du RDC d'une construction remarquable et..des 13 attractions touristiques " la plupart sont méconnaissables car en ruines .
