See you in the gardens of Louis XIV's castle! To celebrate the start of spring, the fountains of Versailles once again come alive with their majestic water features and a background of baroque music accompanies our walks among the groves. The experience is all the more breathtaking when we know that these technical feats date from the 17th century, under the initiative of the Sun King who wanted to offer his Court the most beautiful spectacles. We are intoxicated by the semi-circular waterfall of the Ballroom and the Neptune Pool where the angry god of the sea defends his divine wife. We continue, cheerfully, the royal stroll. Flower beds, neatly trimmed boxwoods and green groves adorn the gardens. Perhaps you will come across a stone Apollo or a free Prosperine, come to celebrate the return of good weather. Admire the topiaries hand-cut by the Château’s artistic gardeners, and designed according to ancestral knowledge. From June, we can end our suspended stroll in style, by going to the Hall of Mirrors to watch the Royal Serenade. In the courtyard, the chapel and the large apartments of the Sun King, we discover the leisure activities of the time. Religious songs, theater skits, sword fights and baroque dances invite us to enjoy a timeless moment. A magical atmosphere, worthy of the Sun King!
