THE GARDENS OF VERSAILLES

They occupy part of what was once the domaine royal de Versailles, the royal domain of the Palace of Versailles.

Located west of the palace, the gardens cover an area of 815 hectares of land, much of it covered by French garden.

Behind a belt of plants, the gardens are surrounded by the urban areas of the village of Versailles and that of Le Chesnay, as well as the arboretum of Chèvreloup and the plains of Versailles, and the Satory forest.
