Versailles Orangerie
The聽Versailles Orangerie聽(French:聽L'orangerie du ch芒teau de Versailles) was built by聽Jules Hardouin-Mansart聽between 1684 and 1686, before work on the聽Ch芒teau de Versailles聽had even begun. The Orangerie, which replaced聽Louis Le Vau's earlier design from 1663, is an example of many such prestigious extensions of grand gardens in Europe designed both to shelter tender plants and impress visitors. With the addition of the Orangerie, the gardens, no longer reserved solely for use by聽Louis XIV, had the added use of a theatrical setting that could be used to entertain guests at court
