In seventeenth-century France, land took on new importance for the practice of politics and rituals of court life. In her major new book, Chandra Mukerji highlights the connections between the two seemingly disparate activities of engineering and garden design. She shows how, at Versailles in particular, the royal park showcased French skills in using nature and art to design a distinctively French landscape and create a naturalized political territoriality. She challenges the association of state power with social and legal structures alone and demonstrates the importance for Louis XIV and his state of a controlled physical site, a demarcated French territory within the wider European geo-political continent.

INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards -- 2014 Finalist For gardening aficionados and Francophiles, a love letter to the Versailles Palace and grounds, from the man who knows them best. In Alain Baraton's Versailles, every grove tells a story. As the gardener-in-chief, Baraton lives on its grounds, and since 1982 he has devoted his life to the gardens, orchards, and fields that were loved by France's kings and queens as much as the palace itself. His memoir captures the essence of the connection between gardeners and the earth they tend, no matter how humble or grand. With the charm of a natural storyteller, Baraton weaves his own path as a gardener with the life of the Versailles grounds, and his role overseeing its team of eighty gardeners tending to 350,000 trees and thirty miles of walkways on 2,100 acres. He richly evokes this legendary place and the history it has witnessed but also its quieter side that he feels privileged to know. The same gardens that hosted the lavish lawn parties of Louis XIV and the momentous meeting between Marie Antoinette and the Cardinal de Rohan remain enchanted, private places where visitors try to get themselves locked in at night, lovers go looking for secluded hideaways, and elegant grandmothers secretly make cuttings to take back to their own gardens. A tremendous best seller in France, The Gardener of Versailles gives an unprecedentedly intimate view of one of the grandest places on earth. From the Hardcover edition.

In 1990, a vast restoration project was initiated for the park at Versailles, which aimed at restoring the gardens to their original layout. This newly revised and updated book celebrates the event and presents a detailed history of the gardens, from the hunting estate acquired by Louis XIII to the park of today, where floods of visitors are drawn by the unique and sumptuous era of the legendary Sun King. The age of Louis XV saw the Trianon become one of the favourite haunts of the Court, and the reign of Louis XVI saw its surroundings transformed into one of the most extraordinary jardin anglais produced in France during the 18th century. Throughout the 19th century, the gardens were maintained, restored and replanted, and today they are being further restored to reflect the most significant contributions made by each of the preceding periods. This new edition of the book first published in 1995 shows the evolution of the restoration work and the results of the first re-plantings 20 years ago. New illustrations and specially commissioned photography contrast with the plans, drawings, paintings and engravings of the era, resulting in a fascinating comparison of then and now. Each is accompanied by a short explanation that encourages the reader to relive the centuries that reflect the gardens.
