VERSAILLES: the Hidden Perfumer’s Garden of the Kings of France

    In this video, we return to Versailles to discover one of the most unexpected and little-known spaces of the Domaine de Trianon: le Jardin du Parfumeur — the Secret Perfume Garden of Trianon.

    From Louis XIV and the scented gardens of le Trianon de Porcelaine, to the extravagant perfume rituals of Louis XV and the refined floral world of Marie-Antoinette, we explore how fragrance became part of daily life at Versailles. We also learn how this Perfumer’s Garden created with Maison Francis Kurkdjian, uncover forgotten stories of royal perfumes, rare flowers, and the extraordinary olfactory history of the French court. On y va!

    1. Hello, hello, I don’t know if you’re aware (You already know so much about this historic site !!!), but at the château de Versailles, the bedroom in the King’s private apartments has undergone a major restoration aimed at restoring it to its 1789 state. The project focused particularly on the textiles, which define the layout of the entire room around the alcove and the bed. Thanks to the preservation of ancient fragments, the fabrics have been re-woven identically using traditional techniques, allowing the wall hangings, door curtains and drapes to be restored in their original colours and materials. The bedroom has also been refurnished, using pieces from other royal residences (Compiègne, Saint-Cloud), chosen for their stylistic and historical coherence. Open to the public since 14 April 2026, the King’s Bedroom is now part of the tour of the private apartments. 🙂
