<P> The Gardens of Versailles ( French : Jardins du château de Versailles ; French pronunciation : ​ ( ʒaʁdɛ̃ dy ʃato də versaij ) ) occupy part of what was once the Domaine royal de Versailles , the royal demesne of the château of Versailles . Situated to the west of the palace , the gardens cover some 800 hectares of land , much of which is landscaped in the classic French Garden style perfected here by André Le Nôtre . Beyond the surrounding belt of woodland , the gardens are bordered by the urban areas of Versailles to the east and Le Chesnay to the north - east , by the National Arboretum de Chèvreloup to the north , the Versailles plain ( a protected wildlife preserve ) to the west , and by the Satory Forest to the south . </P>
