Design and creation of parks, gardens and terraces

Outdoor spaces to live in,that sparkle.

The FLAURE spirit

FLAURE is a design and creation agency for parks, gardens and terraces, based in Paris and the Yvelines. We design your bespoke garden and supervise the works with our partner companies.

Your garden, terrace or courtyard

Tell us what you long for, and we will draw a place to match. FLAURE designs your bespoke project, from the advice visit to site supervision.

Garden and terrace projects

We design bespoke parks, estate gardens, terraces and building courtyards in Paris, the Yvelines and the Hauts-de-Seine, in Bordeaux and the surrounding area, and, on request, anywhere in France and in neighbouring countries. Plants are at the heart of our approach, letting us play with colours, textures and scents… in tune with the landscape.

Dreaming of a garden that sparkles?

FLAURE, sparkling gardens: alive and good for biodiversity.

This is how we like to describe the parks, gardens and terraces we design. Places full of life, where colours, textures and volumes hold many surprises for those who live there. It all sparkles, bringing joy and well-being to everyone who strolls through them.

Florence Merrien, garden designer and creator in the landscape and a graduate of the École nationale supérieure de paysage, runs the agency.

What our clients say

Justine

The FLAURE agency created our garden last year. We are very pleased with the result and enjoy watching our garden grow. The agency was highly competent and always available, and met our needs and wishes while bringing fresh ideas. You can trust them! Thank you again.

Philippe

We entrusted the design of our outdoor spaces to the FLAURE agency (a town house with a garden, a courtyard and a balcony). From the very first visit, we particularly appreciated how closely they listened, the way the project sits within its surroundings, the dialogue between indoor and outdoor spaces, and the “sensory approach” of the proposals.

Gwenaël

We called on the FLAURE agency for an advice visit, to help us create an urban vegetable garden. The soil, the sunlight and the surrounding buildings were all taken into account, nothing was overlooked. The suggestions were concrete, suited to the aspect, easy to picture and easy to carry out. Special mention for the soil analysis recommended beforehand, which was very reassuring. Thorough, clear and relevant support, we are delighted and recommend them without hesitation!

Brigitte

I am very satisfied with the FLAURE agency’s work. (…) The proposal took into account the north, north-east and south-east exposures, to suggest suitable plants, as well as the constraints (co-ownership rules, a concrete slab, etc.). The idea of a journey through the garden that echoes our interior decoration is spot on. Finding landscapers and metalworkers for a flower dome let us save money by staying local, with adjusted quotes. Supervision of the works allowed the final corrections to be made and as much of the existing garden as possible to be saved. I can’t wait for spring to see it all in bloom!

Carine

I called on the FLAURE agency after buying a plot of land for our future house. We wanted to plan ahead and start creating a wooded area, with shade and fruit trees, a hedge to screen us from the street and space for a vegetable garden. The team took our needs into account and designed a project that suited us. Their drawings helped us picture the result. The works were well run and lived up to our expectations. In short, thank you FLAURE!

Caroline

We called on the FLAURE agency to imagine a garden that reflects who we are, with a real challenge: bringing together three different sensibilities, three visions, three sets of wishes. The agency listened, understood and translated what we were hoping for. Its approach combines artistic sensitivity, respect for the place and a knowledge of living things. Every stage of the project was thought through with care, in a true dialogue, and always with that ability to suggest without ever imposing. Today we have a unique outdoor space, which reflects our trio while forming a harmonious whole. Many thanks for that attentiveness, that talent and that commitment.

Frequently asked questions

Where do you work as a garden designer?

Mostly in Paris, the Yvelines and the Hauts-de-Seine, in Bordeaux and the surrounding area. On request, we also work anywhere in France and in neighbouring countries.

Discover our pages: garden design in Paris, garden design in the Yvelines, garden design in the Hauts-de-Seine and garden design in and around Bordeaux.

Do you carry out the works?

No, we design your garden and oversee the construction work. The works themselves are carried out by partner companies, carefully chosen and covered by the French ten-year liability insurance (garantie décennale), and we help you compare their quotes.

How much does an advice visit cost?

€240 incl. VAT (plus travel costs outside Île-de-France), deducted if you continue your project with us: sketch, design, or design and creation. The garden advice visit is always the first step: a personal appointment at your home to understand your needs and define the bespoke support that suits you best.

Why hire a garden designer rather than a landscaping company?

Because designing and building are two different trades. We draw a complete project, suited to your land and the way you live, then help you compare quotes and supervise the works, without selling any works ourselves. See who does what between a garden designer and a landscaping company.
