Gardens of Versailles – A Masterpiece of French Landscape Art

The Gardens of Versailles (Jardins du Château de Versailles) are one of the most breathtaking and meticulously designed landscapes in the world, covering 800 hectares of grand geometric patterns, ornamental fountains, tree-lined paths, and exquisite sculptures. Designed in the 17th century by the legendary André Le Nôtre for King Louis XIV, these gardens are a symbol of royal opulence and artistic perfection.

Highlights of the Gardens:

• Grand Canal – A magnificent 1.6 km-long waterway, where royal gondolas once sailed, offering picturesque reflections of the palace.
• Latona Fountain – Inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, this spectacular fountain depicts the mythological story of Latona, Apollo’s mother.
• Apollo Fountain – A stunning sculpture of Apollo rising from the water on his chariot, symbolizing King Louis XIV, the Sun King.
• The Bosquets (Grove Gardens) – Hidden garden rooms featuring ornate fountains, sculptures, and secret pathways, including the famous Hall of Mirrors-inspired Bosquet de la Salle de Bal.

Every summer, the Musical Fountains Show brings the gardens to life, where visitors can walk among the grandeur of Versailles while enjoying the rhythmic dance of water and classical music.

Whether strolling through flower-filled terraces, admiring the grand fountains, or enjoying the royal serenity of the landscapes, the Gardens of Versailles remain a timeless work of art.
