| dbo:abstract | The French term patte d'oie (literally "goose foot", in English sometimes referred to as a "crow's foot") describes a design whereby three, four, or five or more straight roads or paths radiate out from a central point, so called from its resemblance to a goose's foot. The first use of the term dates from 1624, and the design became common in French gardens and English gardens of the late 17th century. Typically it focused on the entrance front of a house, and the road on its central axis continued as the entrance drive. The idea for the patte d'oie may have originated in town planning schemes where roads converged onto a single space or feature, such as the Piazza del Popolo in Rome. It is often a feature of site plans for the grander French châteaux of the 17th and 18th centuries, in which the roads converge on an important element of the central axis. Examples include the Château de Richelieu (c. 1639), the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte (c. 1660), and the Château de Versailles (c. 1664). The château of Richelieu had three roads converging on a 300-ft. circle directly in front of the entrance gate. Vaux and Versailles each had designs for two pattes d'oie, one focused on the entrance forecourt, and the other, on a far part of the garden. * Site plan for the Château de Richelieu (c. 1639), drawing by Jacques Lemercier * Site plan for the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte (c. 1660), designed by André Le Nôtre, engraved by Israel Silvestre * Site plan for the Château de Versailles (c. 1664–1665), designed by Le Nôtre (en) |
