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 vegetable 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 undertook the creation of a new kitchen garden in order to supply the immense needs of the Court, and to provide the royal table with fruits and vegetables worthy of the Sun King. Since its creation, it is still in activity and gives about 50 tons of fruits and 20 tons of vegetables per year. You can also do your shopping in his little store. And it's a great place to stroll around!

Se cache un trésor, joyau de la cité.
Le potager du roi, verdure couronnée,
Un éden où le temps semble s’arrêter.
Là où le sol fertile porte fruits et fleurs,
Les mains de l’artisan créent avec ferveur.
Tomates, courgettes, fraises en doux essaim,
Dansent sous le soleil, en un ballet sans fin.
Les allées sinueuses, bordées de buissons,
Évoquent les secrets, murmures et chansons.
Le parfum du basilic, l’éclat d’une rose,
Chaque coin du potager une chose précieuse propose.
Miroir du savoir-faire, du labeur et du rêve,
Où la nature et l'art en harmonie s'élèvent.
Le potager du roi, à Versailles, est un lieu
Où la beauté s’épanouit sous le regard des cieux.
