Travel Poster Versailles Garden Park Autumn France

Original vintage travel poster promoting Versailles in France as a travel desctination. The Gardens of Versailles - Jardins du chateau de Versailles - occupy part of what was once the Domaine royal de Versailles, the royal demesne of the chateau 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 formal garden style perfected here by Andre Le Notre. 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. Good condition, tears, bumps and foxing on margins, small loss on top left corner. Country of issue: France, designer: Photo by A. Jousse, size (cm): 99x61.5, year of printing: 1950s
