THE GARDENS OF VERSAILLES
Enjoy your free time to stroll the magnificent French gardens designed by Le Nôtre: nature is tamed, flowerbeds are geometric and the aisles are structured. The gardens are adorned with more than 400 marble, bronze and led statues and the fountains, ponds and terraces obey the laws of optical illusion, so the Grand Canal seems closer when standing at the foot of the castle.
If you rather not walk too much, visit the domain with the mini train. You can get off the train at any stop for a visit and get on the next train.
FOUNTAINS SHOW AND MUSICAL GARDENS

VERSAILLES HISTORY...
When the Versailles Palace was built, the city of Versailles was a country village; today it is a suburb, some twenty kilometers southwest of Paris. The court of Versailles was the center of political power in France from 1682, when Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in October 1789 after the beginning of the French Revolution. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the "Ancient Régime" in France.
