From 1670 onwards, at the instigation of Eleonore d'Olbreuse, the wife of Duke Georg Wilhelm, the French gardener Henri Péronnet († 1690) was commissioned to design the garden. From 1690 to 1701, René Dahuron, also a Frenchman, was in charge. The garden was probably renamed the "French Garden" after their country of origin. In the period from 1695 to 1696, a four-row linden tree avenue was laid out for the first time, which was completely renewed with the planting of 224 Dutch linden trees in 1951-1953. In honour of Eleonore d'Olbreuse, the striking tree avenue was named after her.
