Potager du Roi

I personally love seeing fresh fruit, veges and flowers so this was a lovely little stroll! Well maintained gardens, signposts with names of produce, we even discovered some chickens enjoying themselves scratching around in a fenced in garden. It was really serene, and I felt worth the price of €8 per person.

I felt disappointed by my visit with my son . We paid 5 euros garden is nice but with no explanation not well maintained for visitors. The coffeeshops were closed . It was during the toussaint break . It was not worth the visit you feel as if it not taking care of to make it attractive. They sell vegetables at the entrance .

A heart melting place that will take you in a beautiful journey, to make you discover the authenticity of Versailles. 2 min away from the "Chateau de Versailles" and the city's main attractions. Louis XIV commissioned Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie to develop a kitchen garden on the site of a swamp known as 'stinking pond', covering over 8 hectares.

Visited mid September. Well kept garden and still can see many veg and fruits. Bought a few bottles of apple juice..delicious.

Awesome location. So much to experience. A necessary part of seeing the Chateau if you have the time

4€ entrance fee for a lovely promenade inside the ancient kitchen garden of the king

Lovely ! Especially on a sunny day

An interesting hidden part of royal Versailles. Although you have to make your own fun - go on a nice day, enjoy the plants and birds, and take the well presented leaflet to guide you through the gardens. Also great for lovers of vegetables and keen gardeners.

It's a really beautifully laid out veggie garden. I say veggie versus flower b/c when we were there it wasn't the right season. Got there early in the morning when it was dry. Found ourselves getting lost a few times trying to find the place, asked City street workers, retired grandpas, storekeepers- all gave us funky side street directions. Finally asked a young woman at cross walk who happened to be a worker in a nearby office, told us to follow her. She pointed out their ticket office. *NOTE: It's across the street from local nursing college. If you try to enter from other side of estate, you can't. Have to pay a nominal entrance fee. Ticket office is also where the garden's offerings are sold, very seasonal. (Yes, the stuff the former Kings of France dined on, you, too, can also buy it's veggie descendants and dine on, too!). Expensive, as it is organic and think prestige factor. Eg: spinach for $4/lb. Yikes! If you don't care for veggies, they had nougat candy made with honey gathered from beehives in the garden. Also, jars of honey for sale. Pleasant calming experience. Mostly disability friendly, too. Elderly people with canes and saw a woman in a wheelchair enjoying their walks.
