Ivan Thé, head gardener at the Potager du Roi, explains the transformations undergone by the kitchen garden and details the challenges ahead for this remarkable garden, classified as a historic monument, which has never ceased to produce crops.
Designed to supply the King's table with high-quality fruit and vegetables, the kitchen garden is above all a place of technical expertise. However, it does not deviate from the aesthetic rules imposed on 16th-century gardens, as it is also a showcase for the excellence of French agriculture. Through its architecture and successive developments, the Potager reveals itself to be a veritable theatre through its landscaped staging.
