Presentation

Come and join us for the new guided tour of the Potager du Roi: ‘Discovering a remarkable and multifaceted garden’.

Built in Versailles near the palace between 1678 and 1683 at the behest of Louis XIV, the Potager du Roi is a unique example of a French kitchen garden from the Baroque era. Its purpose was to supply the King’s table with fruit and vegetables and to showcase French agricultural expertise. Since the 17th century, the art of pruning and training fruit trees into espalier or half-espalier forms has been practised and passed down here. Today, seventeen gardeners cultivate vegetables, herbs and nearly 4,000 fruit trees there. The mission to ‘nourish and innovate’, entrusted to Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie, director of Louis XIV’s orchards and kitchen gardens, is more relevant than ever.
