Le jardin persan développa de très bonne heure l'art des pavillons disséminés un peu partout, et, plus particulièrement, aménagés à la tête des perspectives. Un grand nombre de parcs connus ont un pavillon en leur centre (...) Ce pavillon, situé à l'endroit où le symbolisme du jardin place la Terre, est volontiers juché sur une éminence artificielle, elle-même entourée d'un canal. (...) Ces pavillons affectent toutes sortes de formes, dont certaines dérivent des tentes (...) 1, record 3, French, - pavillon%20de%20jardin
