In 1661, Louis XIV hired the world's best landscape gardeners to create what would become the Gardens of Versailles. Centuries later, the 250 acre gardens are still watered with the same hydraulic system which was used in the garden's early days and the garden has been given UNESCO World Heritage status. Each year, 50,000 flowers are planted in the gardens each year, which means those with hay fever should probably steer clear.

My favourite is the French gardens. I have visited the countryside of France and seen the outstanding gardens in various areas. They still are so romantic to walk through on a warm summers night. Serene and beautiful. They have also preserved their history in the form of buildings and bridges..I have been to Hampton Court and although the Palace is gorgeous the gardens looked like nothing on a very cold, windy and rainy day. I challenged my daughter to go through the maze, even though it was peeeeing down. It was smaller than what I expected it to be.
