The most amazing gardens in America!
The Nemours Mansion and Gardens are simply sublime. It looks like something you'd see in the imperial areas of France or Austria: formal gardens full of hedges and sculptures, delicately arranged flowers, a massive mansion full of hand-made 18th-century European furniture, and even a maze of bushes and shrubs! It's one of the most unique places in the United States and something you can't miss if you're in the Wilmington, Delaware area.
To visit the mansion, you should reserve a spot on one of the tours at 9:30am, 12:00pm, or 3:00pm. Unfortunately, you can't just go and visit the grounds on your own. The tours are pleasant and give you a lot of extra insight into its previous owner, Alfred DuPont, and the decorations. Speaking of which, the decor is jaw-dropping: dozens of crystal chandeliers, massive libraries, delicate drawing rooms, rugs from around the world...it's really cool.
