France is located in western Europe, with a high terrain in the southeast and low terrain in the northwest. The country is mainly composed of plains, with a small number of basins, hills and plateaus.

Most areas have temperate marine climates, mild and humid throughout the year. Agriculture is very developed and forests are lush, accounting for about 25% of the country's land area.

In the 15th century, the "French and Italian War" brought back a large number of precious art and garden craftsmen from Italy, promoting the French Renaissance, and still did not completely get rid of the influence of medieval Western European gardens; In the 16th and 17th centuries, French gardens continued to innovate on the basis of Italian gardens, and the Renaissance garden styles were gradually replaced by classical gardens.

The Cenonso Castle Garden is represented;

Villandry Manor is represented;

Luxembourg Gardens are represented.

The high walls and trenches of medieval castle gardens are still maintained. The garden composed of closed courtyards has no connection with the architecture in composition, and there is also a lack of connection between the various tiers. Most of the gardens are located on the side of the mansion, and the terrain of the garden changes smoothly, and the height difference between the terraces is not large.

Italy's influence is mainly reflected in the elements and techniques of building the garden. Stone pavilions, corridors, railings, shelves, etc. appear in the garden, and simple embroidered patterns appear in the flower beds, and occasionally embroidered with statues.

Caves and niches were also introduced to France, with statues inside and the entrances were decorated with arches or columns.

The main building, hatchback and gate building are arranged around a square inner courtyard, with clear primary and secondary, and symmetrical central axis.

The ornamentality of the garden has increased. It is usually arranged behind the residence and stretches from the foot of the main building. The central axis coincides with the central axis of the residence, and adopts a symmetrical layout.

The embroidered bed is divided into two symmetrical pieces with a road, and sometimes the pattern is combined with Arabic decorative patterns and geometric figures.

Use flower and straw graphics to imitate clothes and embroidered laces to form a new garden decorative art called "Moorish" or "Arabic" decoration.

Flower beds are one of the most important constituent factors in French gardens. From simply dividing the entire garden into square flower beds to treating the garden as a whole and laying the embroidered flower beds according to the pattern to form an overall composition effect that matches the grand building, it is a major leap in French garden art.
