Not set out in a maze but increadible the way they have set it out with different quadrants with different themes. When we first visited waaaay back in 1987 the gardens were spectacular but the chateau was an empty shell and most uninspiring. last time we visited in 2006 we were astounded as the chateau is now also one of our favourites inside. On the must see list.
CHM: Andres is right. The potager is not a maze. This section is more like a Greek key pattern. There is a maze elsewhere in the garden (but just for kids - adults can see over the tops of the hedges).
