The Monplaisir Palace is located in the middle of a small park divided into six themed gardens, including a Chinese garden and a maze. Monplaisir, which means “my pleasure” in French, vaguely resembles a Dutch colonial villa, with its gabled roof and narrow rectangular windows. It was a favorite retreat of Peter the Great. No visit to Peterhof is complete without a visit to the interiors of Monplaisir, comprising seven marvelous rooms. The complex also includes Catherine Palace and the Bathhouse Block.
