The most popular and most famous is the regular French style. It originated in Italy during the Renaissance. Noblemen and merchants had beautiful houses and very small territories around them.
To decorate it, they began to plant plants and create beautiful objects from them using artistic haircuts.
In order for them to look most advantageous, the principle of strict symmetry was invented. Every rich person sought to create something new and original. The technique of creating symmetrical gardens quickly developed and improved. The French paid attention to them. Louis XIV simply fell in love with this art and elevated it to the rank of court. Then magnificent French gardens appeared, in which there was no place for natural wild nature. Artificiality came to the fore. It was formed using the following elements:
In front of the main building on the site (in front of the palace or house), a parterre was formed – an open area on which symmetrical flower beds were laid out, having a clear geometric shape. There could be a fountain in the center of the site. Straight paths would branch out from it along the entire territory in vectors and lines, dividing the park into equal zones. Paving was used to create paths and alleys. Shrubs that could be artistically trimmed were planted along them. Green labyrinths were created with its help. A green parterre lawn was sown inside them.
