René Pechère transformed the Art Deco gardens into a landscape garden (1968-1970). Specialist in the protection of historical patrimony, he created 900 public and private gardens. His " Labyrinth " or " Dedalus " - the name of Icarus father - has an itinerary with 1300 yewtrees on 500 m, where " The Song of Songs " is illustrated by 7 sculp- tures in bronze, made by the Belgian André Willequet. There are only 2 mazes in Belgium. .

The maze of René Pechère was made in 5 months (1968) and evokes the shelter of the Minotaur, from where Icarus and Dedalus escaped thanks to the Ariadne's help.
