What to expect

The Gardens of Versailles, also known as the Jardins du château de Versailles, are a masterpiece of French formal garden design. Created by André Le Nôtre in the 17th century, the gardens cover an area of 800 hectares and feature meticulously manicured lawns, parterres, and sculptures, as well as fountains and a grand canal. The gardens have undergone several transformations over the years, including a major replanting in the late 20th century after a devastating storm in 1999. Today, the gardens are one of the most visited public sites in France, attracting over six million visitors a year. With its stunning beauty and rich history, the Gardens of Versailles are a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to France
