Versailles Palace Park

The royal city of Versailles is located 20 kilometers southwest of Paris. The city is better known as the Palace of Versailles because it is a huge palace complex built by Louis XIV. Since the end of the XVII century, the Versailles Palace and Park ensemble has been a model for the residences of the European aristocracy. The park and palace were included in the UNESCO list in 1979. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in France.

Very interesting park of the Palace of Versailles. It is a regular park because it has a geometrically correct, symmetrical layout. The regular park of the Palace of Versailles is considered one of the most important in Europe. It consists of a large number of terraces, which gradually decrease as you move away from the Palace of Versailles. Everything in the park – lawns, swimming pools, flower beds, fountains, is a logical continuation of the architectural style of the palace itself. In addition to greenhouses and alleys, there are several palace-like buildings in the park. Versailles Park reflects the integrity and harmony of the architecture and landscape of the Palace of Versailles.
