The gardens of Versailles are also worth a visit. ✨You’ll enter the garden with the South Parterre. ✨Visit the Orangery garden which has over 1.200 boxes of oranges, lemon, pomegranate, and oleander trees during the summer. ✨The water garden has several statues that represent the rivers in France. ✨Walk down to Latona’s Fountain, one of the gems of the Gardens of Versailles. ✨The Mirror pool is built in 3 levels and is framed by 2 dragons. ✨The King’s Garden has busts of Kings but the garden is pretty regular. ✨The Collonade Grove is made out of marble. ✨The Apollo’s Fountain is inspired by the legend of the Sun God, by whom Louis XIV identified himself. ✨The Grand Canal on which the royal family took boat rides to enjoy their summer day. As we only had 1 day in Versailles, we only did one-half of the garden. But there is more to explore in the beautiful gardens of Versailles! #versailles #versaillespalace #versaillesdetails #chateauversailles #versaillescollections #palaceofversailles #versaillescastle #chateaudeversailles #parisfrance #paris #parismaville #parisianstyle #parisparis #paris_tourisme #paris_focus_on #gardensofversailles #parisfrance #parisjetaime #travel #instatravel #topparisphoto #parisianvibes #parisiennestyle #pariscartepostale #parislovers #lifeofapassion
