Monty Don visits some of the most famous and interesting gardens in France.

Having lived in Aix-en-Provence for six months when he was nineteen years old several decades ago and having fallen in love with all things French from that time, British gardener and gardening anthropologist Monty Don wants to expose the viewer to all things France through its gardens. He shows what their gardens reveal about French history, and its culinary and artistic traditions. With each, he also reveals why they are so enamored with order and structure. He will be meeting and speaking with working gardeners and hopefully eating fresh from the garden produce, and in the process finding out what makes France and French gardens unique in the world.—Huggo
