Veering between nervous excitability and debilitating ennui, he gluts his aesthetic appetites with classical literature and art, exotic jewels (with which he fatally encrusts the shell of his tortoise), rich perfumes, and a kaleidoscope of sensual experiences. The original handbook of decadence, Against Nature exploded “like a grenade” (in the words of its author) and has enjoyed a cult readership from its publication to the present day.

The gardens were the final mise en scène of an elaborate ritual, which included the housing of the foreigners in Paris, their journey to Versailles, and their official audience with the king in the palace. A showcase for the achievements of royal artists, landscape architects, and hydraulic engineers, the gardens were soon regarded as one of the wonders of the modern world, proclaiming the wealth, power, and artistic taste of France and the French monarchy.

Les jardins sont des lieux de respiration et de beauté qui ont de tout temps réhaussé l'éclat des civilisations. L'eau, source de vie, constitue l'un de leurs ornements majeurs. Retracer l'histoire de l'eau dans les jardins, du monde antique jusqu'aux plus récents, c'est à dire les situer dans l'histoire des mentalités, des sciences et des techniques, et suivre un parcours qui mène à un bon usage de l'eau. Dans les jardins anciens, les effets produits par des fontaines, par des jets d'eau ou simplement par un ruisseau ou un étang sont nés de rencontres parfois miraculeuses entre une certaine conception du bonheur et une image de la nature où convergent toutes les connaissances d'une époque. Aujourd'hui, les jardins contemporains utilisent toutes les possibilités de la technologie : l'eau fuse ou se faufile, elle apporte partout le mouvement et la lumière grâce à des jets d'eau informatisés, à des cascades recyclées ou à des brumisateurs. A une époque ou nous nous occupons de la gestion durable des ressources naturelles, cette technologie permet de conserver l'agrément des jardins et de tirer les plus beaux effets de l'eau tout en la préservant.
