Parc du Château de Versailles

  Parc du Château de Versailles sits just outside of Paris, a notable extension of the historical Château de Versailles built in the 17th century. This expansive garden, spanning 800 hectares, features a blend of meticulously landscaped lawns, grand fountains, and a variety of sculptures that reflect the grandeur of the French monarchy. A fascinating fact is that the park’s intricate system of fountains operates mainly in the warmer months, specifically from April to October, drawing visitors to experience its water displays. Strolling along the numerous pathways, you’ll encounter diverse flora, including over 200 varieties of trees. Visitors can also explore the Orangerie, which houses numerous citrus trees, and simply enjoy the serene beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
