"The
Gardens & The Park"
Laid out between 1661 and 1700 by Le Notre, who levelled and

parterres, Versailles is the model of formal gardens " a la francaise

fountains. The antique myth of Apollo, the sun-god, is ever present.
Beyond the formal gardens arranged in the Petit parc (185 acres),
the extensive Grand Parc provides opportunities for pleasant strolls
or long walks.
