Le Pin Gardens are known throughout France for its unique topiary and extensive flower gardens that surround the chateau. Anchoring the gardens are the magnificent topiary providing backdrop to acres of rose gardens, frog ponds, expansive lawns and natural parks.

The formal gardens were originally designed by noted architect Alfred Koerner for Gerard and Claudine Gignoux in the 1920's. These gardens include the topiary gardens and the terraced gardens with reflecting pools just below the chateau. The gardens are presently maintained and have been expanded by their granddaughter, Jane de la Celle.

The French Government has classified Le Pin as a "Monument Historique". The Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication has awarded the "Des Jardins Remarquables" designation to Le Pin's gardens and grounds.

The gardens are open to the public during weekend afternoons, holidays and by appointment from May 1 through October 1.

The gardens of Le Pin host two annual Fête des Plantes in the Spring and Fall. Both Fetes are celebrations of the art and passion of plants and gardens. Up to 5,000 people come each weekend to learn and enjoy the plants and wares from dozens of vendors.

Within the gardens is a walled potager which provides seasonal organic fruits and vegetables to Le Pin guests as well as local restaurants and markets.

On the chateau property, there are several vineyards.
