Description
The scale, height and pure lines of the Orangerie, which sits just below the Palace, make it one of Jules Hardouin-Mansart's crowning achievements, demonstrating his talent as a great architect. Orange trees from Portugal, Spain and Italy, lemon trees, oleander, palm and pomegranate trees, some more than 200 years old, are all housed in the Orangery during the winter and spread out across its parterre in summer.
