Total rip off. I went there nearly 20 years ago (with a bus) and it cost just 50 Francs to park!!! Take care.

I too have been there. The sheer magnitude of what being royal meant to a garden is breathtaking. The royal garden is balanced left and right side.
Each year 50,000 flowers are planted in the gardens. Tuberoses, jasmine, and pinks are three of the varieties along the garden beds.
To maintain the design, the garden needed to be replanted approximately once every 100 years. King Louis XVI did so at the beginning of his reign.
