Annevoie Gardens

Annevoie Park, Les Jardins d'Annevoie
Belgium, Liege
The park complex got its name in honor of the Belgian village of the same name. Its creation and further prosperity is inextricably linked with the Montpellier family, ten generations of which worked on the future pearl of park art. The gardens of Annevua were founded in the 18th century by Charles-Alexis Montpellier, inspired by what he saw during his wanderings in Europe. As a result, several styles were used in the creation of the park - French, English and Italian. The highlight of the park is the unique water system, which consists of twenty decorative ponds and fifty fountains and water cascades. Moreover, from the very beginning it is designed in such a way that it works exclusively due to the natural flow of water. On the territory of the park there is a castle of the 17th century, which passed into the possession of Montpellier a century later. It is currently private property.

The park is located between Namur and Dinant. The park seemed chambered and cozy. I liked it, it feels real life, not an attraction for tourists. The park is a bit run down, but it looks homey. All fountains work due to the difference in water levels without pumps. Each fountain has a name: a fan, ...swans walk in the park, who do not pay any attention to people. Impressive lake and mansion (palace). The park has a souvenir shop and a cafe-restaurant. In the shop, in addition to souvenirs and books, the choice of which is small, you can buy jams, flower seeds and more.
