Bosquet de la Reine, Ornamental grove in Palace of Versailles gardens, France
The Queen's Grove contains 168 Virginia tulip trees in its central area, complemented by various flowering shrubs and seasonal plants along the pathways.
Originally created in 1665 as a labyrinth with 39 fountains depicting Aesop's fables, the grove was transformed in 1775 to provide Marie-Antoinette with a private garden.
The garden's layout combines traditional French formal design principles with natural elements, featuring tulip trees, roses, and ornamental flowering plants.
The grove underwent extensive restoration work in the early 2020s, resulting in the planting of 650 trees and 6,000 flowering shrubs across the space.
In 1784, this grove became the setting for the Diamond Necklace scandal when Cardinal Rohan encountered an impostor pretending to be Marie-Antoinette.
