A gastronomic tour of the city of Versailles
except mondays
WHAT BRINGS US HERE
Few people know but Louis XIV, who was a great gastronome, created in the gardens of the Château de Versailles a vegetable garden worthy of a king who had changed French cuisine forever. To this garden is credited great advances in the techniques of creating 300 more varieties of fruits, vegetables and greens that grew all the year and were served in the king’s table.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN
We started our gastronomic adventure with a typical French breakfast and then we walked on our way to the king’s garden. We will know its roots, its microclimates and its importance in the history of French cuisine.
We continue our journey through the streets of Versailles and make a visit to the market. Established in November 1634 the Versailles market is one of the oldest and most traditional in France. Our experience ends around 1pm, a restaurant will be booked for lunch and then you will have all afternoon to visit the city and the castle.
