This is an aerial view of the Gardens at the Chateau of Vaux-le-Vicomte in Maincy, Seine-et-Marne, France, a representative of classic French formal gardens. The evergreen hedges trimmed into exquisite vortex geometric patterns, paired with reddish-brown bare soil, present highly ordered horticultural aesthetics. The person walking on the hedge path highlights the grand scale of the landscape. This garden is also an important inspiration for the later design of the Palace of Versailles gardens, with elegant classical charm.
