S6#86 🌞😎🇺🇸🇬🇧“Maintenon in the Age of the Marquise: Gardens, Aqueduct, and Metamorphoses"

Under the guidance of Françoise d’Aubigné, soon to be Madame de Maintenon, the château was transformed: a new wing, sunlit private apartments, formal gardens and parterres by Le Nôtre, a grand canal, and Vauban’s monumental aqueduct conceived to supply water to Versailles. This architectural ambition unfolds within a broader narrative — from the estate’s transfer to the Noailles family to the 19th-century renovations and the 20th-century rescues — shaping a place where the art of building, hydraulic engineering, and landscape design are forever entwined with the destiny of an extraordinary woman.
