0 a flat area in a garden, with a formal arrangement of plants or flowers: --
1 the area of seats in a theatre that is on the lower level, usually at the back and sides, below the balcony (= an area of seats at an upper level): --
Existing "bosquets" and "parterres" were expanded and new ones created.
A parterre with a path in the middle was situated directly behind the castle and ended on the banks of a formal pond.
Parts of the interior of the "schloss" are open to the public, as are the parterres and the surrounding park.
What is now known as the parterre was called the pit.
Looking to the right, they will see the vast salon which extends via the window to the lateral parterre.
Work also began in 1949 to restore four of the site's six 19th-century parterres.
Behind, the central axis is extended between the former parterres, now mown hay.
Clipped hedges, knot gardens, parterres, bosks, and rose gardens had created juxtaposition between this formal garden that is situated within a post-industrial site.
