Bosquet des Rocailles, Historic garden in Versailles, France
Rocailles Bosquet features an elliptical clearing with cascading marble steps, rock decorations, and carefully arranged pathways within the Palace gardens.
Andre Le Notre designed this garden space between 1680 and 1683, inaugurating it in 1685 with a banquet hosted by the Grand Dauphin.
The garden includes sculptures, torches, and decorative vases representing day and night themes, creating a classic French garden design aesthetic.
Three entrances from the Bacchus and Saturn pathway lead visitors into this southeast section of Versailles gardens, next to the Latone parterre.
The central space contains an Italian-style theater configuration with tiered cascades made of Languedoc marble, forming a natural amphitheater.
