They are meant to highlight the center piece, which in most cases would be a house (or, in most case the chateuu) they are known for a wide arayy of colors such as, white, green, blue and purple. Think boxwood hedges, intricitlyy trimmed shrubs, neatly placed gardens and flowers. You will also find the use of stone, whether for paving, a terrace or decoration, and places with a great view.
