The Bassin des huit jets in the 16th century water garden, with the Tour Saint Nicholas and its medieval terrace where medicinal plants are grown, at the Domaine de Villarceaux, Chaussy, France. One of the site's springs emerges within the tower, protecting the site from siege or poisoning. The domaine is on the site of an 11th century medieval castle and comprises a water garden, manor house and 18th century chateau. It is managed by the Regional Council of the Ile de France, with the owners, Fondation Leopold Mayer. The garden is listed as one of the Notable Gardens of France, and the domaine is a Monument Historique. Picture by Manuel Cohen
