Garden parterres de broderie are clearly seen to contain "S" shapes, arabesques, and arcs. The avenues are symmetric in one direction, then in a perpendicular direction, but are composed of arcs mixed with straight lines. Some sub-compartmentalization also exists. There is an obvious quatrefoil-like design.
