Thanks to her generosity, guests today can enjoy the many awe-inspiring garden rooms of the estate, from the Rose Garden and Bosquet to the Rock Garden and even the remaining greenhouses. Visitors can also tour the mansion, where the family’s original furnishings are carefully maintained, along with an archive of photos, writings, and clothing. The estate offers something for everyone—a complete package—and is dedicated to preserving its legacy and inspiring others.
