Choiseul later transformed the woodland garden into a picturesque garden in the style known as &#8220;Anglo-Chinese&#8221;, with a meandering river whose waters flowed from a height of four metres through a graceful nymphaeum feeding the central water circle of the Orange Garden.<\/p>\n<p>Giving in to the taste of the time for China, rejecting the rigorous aristocratic symmetry of the French garden, Choiseul commissioned Le Camus to redesign the gardens at Chanteloup. Drawing his inspiration from <strong><span style=\"color: #96041f;\">Anglo-Chinese gardens<\/span><\/strong>, Le Camus turned the woodland garden on its head: the rectilinear ponds were demolished and replaced by a meandering river winding its way through rockeries, bridges and waterfalls until it ran out of water in a nymphaeum.
