Some history :
• Versailles is the model of the typical French garden laid out between
1661 and 1700 by Le Nôtre who levelled off the land, drained it and landscaped
the views, bosquets, canals and fl ower beds. The gardens are adorned
with more than 400 marble, bronze and led statues and fountains animated
by water features illustrating for instance the myth of the sun-god Apollo.
