The chateau stands on the fairly steep slopes of a hillside overlooking distant Lake Geneva. Access is from the west, via a curved driveway planted with tall trees more than a hundred years old. The greater part of the more recent work consisted of the remodelling of the slopes, with a considerable amount of earth having to be brought in to create a new profile of terraces, each one with a different width and atmosphere.
In this context of the varying levels, the flights of steps play a structuring role by linking all the parts of the garden: they represent the unifying motif of the composition as a whole.
