The Orangerie and Swiss LakeJules Hardouin-Mansart

Viewed from above, the Orangerie (c. 1684) unfolds with its precision rows of citrus trees and palm-lined paths, extending toward the Grand Lac (Swiss Lake) beyond. This sunken garden showcased Louis XIV’s mastery over nature. The lake and greenery anchor the palace’s symmetry in serene grandeur.
