Exploring cultural connections through France and China's iconic gardens

A new episode of "Crossing Cultures" examines two famous garden styles: France's Vaux-le-Vicomte and China's Humble Administrator's Garden. Vaux-le-Vicomte, designed by André Le Nôtre, showcases the grandeur and symmetry of 17th-century France, influencing the design of Versailles. In contrast, the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou highlights natural flow and asymmetry, reflecting a harmonious relationship between humans and nature.
