Nemours Mansion and Gardens has been returned to its turn-of-the-century magnificence.  A world-class team of architects, engineers, craftsmen and gardeners has completed a dazzling restoration which cost thirty-nine million dollars.   This premier North American estate with its spectacular mansion, re-landscaped gardens and new visitor center reopened for tours on May 1st.

Situated on 222 acres which include a mix of woodland areas and formal gardens with reflecting ponds, parterres and a huge fleur de-leis jardin, Nemours is a landscape jewel and arguably the finest formal French garden in North America.
