For all gardeners, this is one of the must visit places. The garden is kept as close to the original design as possible and incorporates organic practices. The espaliers are the prime example of what that growing technique should be and displays a lot of its benefits.
Even if you are not a garden buff, the visit offers a fascinating look at how the food was grown to serve the king's table and even offers insights into the class divisions of the time.
Definitely worth a visit.
Fascinating if you like gardening. Not expensive and no crowds (unlike the Palace of Versailles)
The Potager du roi (fr: Kitchen Garden of the King), near the Palace of Versailles, produced fresh vegetables and fruits for the table of the court of Louis XIV. It was created between 1678 and 1683 by Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie, the director of the royal fruit and vegetable gardens. Today it is run by the École Nationale Supérieure du Paysage, the high state school in France for the training of landscape architects. It is listed by the French Ministry of Culture as one of the Remarkable Gardens of France by the Comité des Parcs et Jardins de France. It is currently under the direction of Antoine Jacobsohn.
I'm not into gardens, but it was really neat to look at how they shape the fruit trees and the size of the lettuce. My friend is a gardening nerd and she was exstatic.
Beautiful Garden with a very interesting history! Definitely a place to recommend
