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!

Le potager du roi est un endroit agréable où il fait bon se promener en famille ou seul. Le jardin est bien entretenu et offre de beaux tableaux qui changent selon les saisons. C'est un endroit idéal pour se détendre et profiter de la nature. Les plantes sont soigneusement entretenues et le jardin est rempli au printemps de couleurs et de parfums agréables. Souvent calme, je recommande vivement ce jardin potager à tous ceux qui cherchent un endroit paisible pour se ressourcer.

I felt disappointed by my visit with my son . We paid 5 euros garden is nice but with no explanation not well maintained for visitors. The coffeeshops were closed . It was during the toussaint break . It was not worth the visit you feel as if it not taking care of to make it attractive. They sell vegetables at the entrance .

Le site est beau mais le responsable de billetterie était détestable (aucune explication, saoulé d'être dérangé...) or c'est le premier contact avec l'endroit donc ça ne démarrait pas bien.
