This practical book provides guidance in the immense gardens of the Castles of Versailles and Trianon, but also provides an insight into the history of the groves, basins and flower beds, the sculptures that adorn them, the flora and fauna that flourish there, and some of the remarkable plants that can be admired there.
Some of the most lavish celebrations that have been given in the gardens are also mentioned, and illustrated by engravings or paintings.
The book is richly illustrated with photographs and reproductions of paintings and supplemented by two detailed plans to help the reader find his way around, making it the reference guide to the gardens of Versailles and Trianon.
