Monty Don's French Gardens

Series 1 Episode 1: Gardens of Power and Passion

Monty Don visits some of the most famous and interesting gardens in France. Here, he tells the stories behind France's important historic gardens. These include elaborate walled gardens designed to please the mistress - and then the wife - of a King, and magnificent displays of flowers and fountains that involved thousands of soldiers moving tracts of land and incited violent jealousy in another monarch.
