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 potager est grand et très intéressant à visiter, des visites guider du lieu sont disponibles mais flâner dans les allées est bien mieux de mon point de vue.
J'aime m'y promener à la découverte des moindres recoins.
La vue sur la Cathédrale Saint-Louis est grandiose !
Les linéaires sans fin des murs à fruits cloisonnant les espaces de plantation (carrés) sont impressionnants.
