Gardens of Versailles HD: the official app
The Palace of Versailles and Orange invite you to discover the Gardens of Versailles, the epitome of French formal gardens and the masterpiece of their creator, André Le Nôtre. This app specially designed for iPad allows you to explore the gardens remotely and enrich your visit.
At home or on the spot, go all over the Gardens Gallery. Thanks to 250 photos and videos, you will be able to view the gardens from up above, to encounter mythological gods and heroes, to understand how the hydraulic system works, to discover the different gardening professions or to follow the original path designed by Louis XIV.
When you arrive at the Gardens, switch on your telephone’s geolocation system and begin your visit. When you get near one of the Gardens’ many points of interest, the app provides commentary prepared by the teams of curators, gardeners, fountain engineers and architects at Versailles. 2D and 3D maps of the Gardens also help you find your way around easily.
To expand on your visit, you can download additional visits free of charge. You should notably take a look at author Erik Orsenna’s original view of the Gardens of Versailles.
