The Musical Gardens Show

As the seasons go by, to the rhythm of baroque music (Lully, Handel, Charpentier, Campra, Cavalli…), stroll through the remarkable French gardens of Château de Versailles !
At the turn of a flowerbed, in a grove exceptionally open to the public from 9am to 7pm*, you will come across a thousand statues, sometimes hidden masterpieces or topiaries (sculpted plants) hand carved by Château de Versailles’s gardeners.
Like musical climaxes to your walk with family or friends, the Water Theater Grove, the Mirror Pool and the Neptune Pool will offer you magnificent water jet and waterfall compositions using modern techniques throughout the day.
