The Contrast of French & English Gardens

Dior Maison & Baby Dior Artistic Director Cordelia de Castellane lives a life full of flowers: ‘I always say that a house without flowers has no soul.’ Designing collections of exquisite homeware and childrenswear which are often inspired by flowers — and by her muse, Christian Dior — it should come of no surprise that Cordelia’s weekend escape is a living and breathing work of art.

As we tour Cordelia de Castellane’s dream garden, it’s easy to notice the parallels between her formative years and her botanical paradise: ‘I grew up spending half of my time in nature as I was in Switzerland, so for me it was back to my roots to be back in the countryside on the weekends.’ Come along as we explore Cordelia de Castellane’s blooming French & English garden in the north of France.

– The other side of the garden is much more English and this side is really much more French and I wanted to keep it very simple because the house and the stone is really beautiful. We have a beautiful lave just next door who has the most beautiful David Austin Roses,

One of the unique in France who sells. We have few of them climbing. It’s quite, you know, like that, very calm and French. And suddenly, they go the other side of the garden and it’s completely wild and more English. And I like those places very separate and different in the garden.
