The text by Faustus Heroldus is copied from an educated source t1p.de/gpcr3 . But he is blindly whitewashing things when he claims a "fusion of architecture and nature". In truth, nature is mercilessly subjected to human geometry here - with the help of wire mesh, scissors and saws. Living nature is treated like dead building material. That's just how baroque gardens are. The arcades undoubtedly have their own kind of beauty, but it also has something of the beauty of a Nazi party rally and North Korean parades.How plants grow naturally and develop their own forms was only highlighted in the Romantic period.

The continuation of the circular houses in the full circle of the garden parterre form filigree arcades (Berceaux de Treillage, dt. "Arched arcade formed from laths") with portal-like passages. Architecture and nature merge indistinguishably here. The arcades are planted with Virginia creepers and flowering vines that change their appearance throughout the year.
