The Château de Dampierre in the Chevreuse valley was built at the end of the XVIIth century to plans drawn up by Hardouin-Mansart and Le Nôtre, who designed the gardens and grounds.
Le Nôtre radically altered the landscaping around the earlier residence with his creation of the Grand Canal or ornemental lake, the island known as the Ile aux Quatre Canaux and an assortment of pools : from a horseshoe carved into the hillside, avenues and star-shaped intersections were cut through the woodland.
The combined work of these two architectyrak geniuses made Dampierre a masterpiece of château and garden design.
Today, the restful stretches of lawn serve to enhance the nobility and charm of the setting, in wich water plays a major role.
