The Palace of Versailles is opening its doors for the first time to an extraordinary journey through time in virtual reality: visitors are transported back to 1682 and follow André Le Nôtre, Louis XIV’s gardener, on a unique tour of gardens that have since disappeared—the breathtaking structures of the Royal Menagerie and its exotic animals, the Labyrinth Grove with its fountains, and the Grotto of Tethys with its remarkable rockwork décor.
