The King's Kitchen Garden in Versailles was created between 1678 and 1683 by Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie on the orders of Louis XIV. From the very beginning, the garden was a place for growing and for experimenting.
Today, an average of twenty tonnes of vegetables and thirty tonnes of fruit are harvested each year.
The large central square covers 3 hectares and is, as originally, formed into sixteen smallers squares surrounded by pear trees trained on wires ; it contains today several hundred varieties of vegetables of some sixty different kinds.
The gardeners cultivate over 350 varieties of fruit trees and bushes of some 40 different types of fruit.
