POTAGER DU ROI

Near to Versailles cathedral and the Swiss Lake, you can visit the Potager du roi, a fruit and vegetable garden for the King's kitchen, dating back to the time of Louis XIV and extending over an area of nine hectares. It has been perfectly restored to recreate its original orderly subdivisions, and is still used today for cultivating rare, edible plant species. These are on sale at the stalls on site, so you really can say you've eaten like a king!
