3996 A vision of Space through Time. Les jardins suspendus de Marqueyssac. In the 1860s, Julien de Cerval, the owner of Marqueyssac, influenced by the romantic style, redesigned the parterres and laid out five km of walks, filling the spaces between with boxwood trees. In the second half of the 20th century the property became overgrown. It was resold in 1996 to Kléber Rossillon. Thanks to his vision over 150,000 hand-pruned boxwoods now surround the château. Despite recent extreme weather conditions with temperatures over 40 degrees centigrade (when this photograph was captured), boxwood disease and an army of caterpillars (Cydalima perspectalis); the gardeners have kept this magnificent French garden overlooking the Dordogne in top condition using no machinery; just hand tools, organic methods, determination and dedication. It could be argued that the gardens incorporate all elements of 'Space' as determined by anthropologist, Edward Hall; the intimate space, personal space, social space, and public space with the additional dimensions of 'Time'.
