Exceptional events at Versailles
Music in the Gardens
From April until October, the fountains in Château de Versailles’ French gardens come to life during a musical ball. Explore this exceptional place, gazing up at the statues of Apollo, Persephone, gargoyles and many other treasures. On the promenade, you can admire the meticulous topiary, hand cut by the artistic gardeners with skills passed down from generation to generation. The Bosquet du Théâtre d’Eau, the fountains reimagined by landscaper Louis Benech and artist Jean-Michel Othoniel won’t fail to grab your attention. Neptune’s Lake comes to life every quarter of an hour in an elegant baroque show. Everything is accompanied by music from baroque composers including Lully, Rameau, Charpentier, Haendel, Blamont and Campra.
Les Grandes Eaux
At Château de Versailles, the expression ‘Grandes Eaux’ is synonymous with beauty and elegance. The garden’s groves awake during these musical interludes, to the sound of the greatest classics. Decorated with fountains, urns and statues, you’ll enjoy a magical, timeless experience. As you stroll with your family, you’ll have the chance to (re)discover the bronze and marble statues. It’s a delight for all ages.
