Situated to the west of the palace, the gardens of Versailles cover over 800 hectares of land, much of which is landscaped in the classic French Garden style. A hectare of land is about 2.47 acres, so that is a lot of garden. This photo shows just a small corner portion. It’s just teasing you of what’s around the corner.
