The Lost Gardens of the Sun King - 1682

Step into 17th-Century Versailles – Through Virtual Reality

In this one-of-a-kind VR journey, guided by the legendary landscape architect André Le Nôtre, you’ll rediscover spaces imagined by Louis XIV as the pinnacle of royal art, power, and entertainment.

🦁 The Royal Menagerie – One of Europe’s earliest zoos, filled with exotic animals gifted by foreign rulers. It once symbolized royal power and global reach.

🌀 The Labyrinth Grove – A fantastical garden built for the king’s son, filled with fountains and sculptures representing Aesop’s fables.

🏛️ The Grotto of Tethys – A breathtaking palace of water and light, once a symbol of royal power and artistic innovation.

" These gardens were designed as a living theatre — an artistic and political stage to dazzle the court and reflect the king’s absolute power. Today, they are reborn through immersive technology."

Experience the forgotten heart of Versailles, where gardens once staged the grandeur of a rising empire.
