For info :
The Bagatelle Castle is a pleasure pavilion built in 1777 by the architect François-Joseph Bélanger for the Count of Artois in the Bois de Boulogne.
All around the Château de Bagatelle, the park unveils fascinating landscapes such as a magnificent English garden, a water mirror in which one can discover the reflection of a pagoda, the vegetable garden juxtaposed to the gardener's house, a Mediterranean garden or various pieces of water sheltering mysterious caves or beautiful waterfalls. An enchanting setting that often gives the impression of walking inside a painting. The Rose Garden of Bagatelle is a place well known to enthusiasts as it is one of the oldest and most important in France.
