Historically, [[Burgundie]] has in general, but on the [[Ile Burgundie]] in particular, developed a style of garden/park known as the {{wp|French formal garden|ort a la themis}}, literally flower gardens of Themis, the {{wp|Greek|Istroyan}} titaness of order. This style of garden is based on symmetry and the principle of imposing order on nature. These grand displays of man's might have been cultivated over centuries of the minor princelings of outer [[Kingdom of Dericania|Latuim]] to demonstrate their authority not only over their subjects but also over nature itself. In [[Burgundie]] in general there is a sense that the sea is perfect as it is and should be accepted but that land must be tamed and altered to fit the needs of mankind.
