Built over a period of 150 years under the reign of four kings, the pleasure pavilions, folly-gardens and châteaux of Old Regime France are both a visual treat and an enchantment.

From the Mannerist and early Baroque guardhouses at Blérancourt to the château de Rosay, a fantasy realized in the form of an Anglo-Chinese folly park, this book publishes the authors' historically accurate and meticulously rendered watercolours and allows us to admire the buildings, sculptures and ornaments, sometimes grandiose, sometimes playful, of these creations of pre-revolutionary France as they were meant to be seen.
