The Potager du Roi (King’s Kitchen Garden) is an 18th-century walled garden located in the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. It was established in 1678 by King Louis XIV and covers more than four hectares. The Potager du Roi was designed as a productive vegetable garden, supplying the palace with fresh produce for daily meals. Its layout consists of two large rectangular enclosures, divided into symmetrical plots planted with vegetables, fruits and flowers arranged around three long parallel alleyways lined with fruit trees. The garden also features several greenhouses where plants are grown out of season, a terrace overlooking the Grand Canal and ornamental fountains decorated with statues. Today, it serves both as a tourist attraction and a center for research on horticulture and plant breeding.
