Terraced gardens are one of the original aspects of the 18th century in Lorraine. Unlike the narrow terraced gardens, which originated in Italy and were found in France until the beginning of the 17th century, Lorraine gardens have vast terraces and frontal stairways, which have a very strong visual impact. Their success is explained by the presence of undulating sites and stunning views. Ten abbey and chateaux grounds still show evidence of these features.
