René Louis de Girardin, Marquis of Vauvray, was Jean-Jacques Rousseau's last pupil. He created the Parc Jean-Jacques Rousseau at Ermenonville, the first French landscape garden. It was inspired by Rousseau's ideas. De Girardin was the author of De la composition des paysages (1777), which strongly influenced the style of the modern French landscape garden.
