This kind of atmosphere reminds me a garden we have around Paris: le jardin Albert Kahn: a bank man has created a minature "world" in his garden ...so you walk and you can cross a japanese garden , then a tropical area, english garden, french garden, german forest...
It's a great peaceful place...if you 'ld come to France once, you should go to see it... http://site.voila.fr/photobonsai/kahn/kahn.html http://site.voila.fr/photobonsai/kahn/kahn.html
I know ! It's really worth seeing...
Been there , wouldn't mind to go again. Paris is love ! We were staying each time at Pigalle place hi-hi though spent most of the time at Disney )
