The King's kitchen garden, created by Jean-Baptiste de la Quintinie, produces 50 tonnes of fruit and 20 tonnes of vegetables every year.

This kitchen garden, designed and laid out according to the wishes of Louis XIV, is the work of Jean-Baptiste de la Quintinie. In 1678, on the very marshy site of the "stinking pond", he set about creating a new garden to supply the immense needs of the Court, and provide the royal table with fruit and vegetables worthy of the Sun King. Since its creation, the garden has continued to produce around 50 tons of fruit and 20 tons of vegetables a year. As well as being a pleasant place to wander around, it also offers a wide range of workshops, and is a great place to shop.

Le site est beau mais le responsable de billetterie était détestable (aucune explication, saoulé d'être dérangé...) or c'est le premier contact avec l'endroit donc ça ne démarrait pas bien.

Superbe endroit, en fin d'après-midi de début d'automne. Et qui met en valeur la ville.

Original, il devait en falloir des jardiniers pour satisfaire les caprices du Roi!
Très belles sélections de fruitiers et belles présentations des diverses méthodes de taille. Un bel endroit pour étudier.
