The most beautiful gardens in all of France
So, I have not been to all the gardens in France. But, I have to guess that Versailles is the best out of all of them. Everywhere you walk in the gardens/park is stunning. My favorite part of my day trip to Versailles was visiting the Gardens of Versailles, so I decided to make a part 2 blog post about my visit.
***( check out my part 1 guide on Versailles Palace https://ceciliasluxelife.comday-trip-to-versailles-guide-part-1-palace-of-versailles/ and part 3 on Marie Antoinette’s Petit Trianon and Hamlet at https://ceciliasluxelife.comday-trip-to-versailles-marie-antoinettes-petit-trianon-and-hamlet-part-3/.
Make sure you wear very good shoes to Versailles is so you can walk through its enormous park and gardens. But, if you are an active type, you can rent a bike. Or, if you are short on time, you can rent a golf cart and go around more quickly. I would recommend taking your time walking through the park exploring each hidden area . Sit down to watch the beautiful fountains, and marvel at the perfectly shaped shrubs.
The fountains were a marvel of engineering at the time. The engineers of the fountains had to re-route one of the nearby rivers to run them.
Check what time the fountain shows are held the day of your visit.
The gardens are huge, and I think it would be impossible to see everything in the park on one trip. I have gone two times to Versailles, and still didn’t have time to see all the fountains and cute parts of the gardens. I would recommend a person to spend 2.5 hours just exploring the gardens at a leisurely pace. While you are exploring the gardens it would be a great time to get a snack at one of the many places to eat in the garden/park area.
Also, I would recommend downloading the Versailles Garden App that helps you to pint point where all the fountains are in the park. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gardens-of-versailles/id372991853?mt=8
What’s your favorite part of the garden’s?
