Park of Versailles, Royal gardens in Versailles, France
The Park of Versailles extends over 800 hectares with geometrical flower beds, fountains, sculptures, and the Grand Canal measuring 1670 meters in length.
Louis XIV transformed the gardens between 1661 and 1700 under the direction of André Le Nôtre, who established new standards for European landscape architecture.
The gardens host night fountain shows during summer months, incorporating classical music, illuminated water displays, and fireworks across the historical grounds.
The gardens remain accessible throughout the year, with separate tickets available for fountain shows, musical gardens, and access to Marie Antoinette's estate.
The garden contains 372 statues, 55 water features, 600 water fountains, and over 30 kilometers of canals that circulate water throughout the estate.
