Le Nôtre gave the “French garden” its noble reputation. Responsible for the most beautiful gardens of the 17th century, he made Versailles his greatest masterpiece, earning himself a large fortune and international fame.
Le Nôtre worked in the service of the monarchy from 1635, starting his career as gardener to Gaston, Duke of Orléans, Louis XIV’s uncle.
Born into a family that had been gardeners to the king since the 16th century, he trained in the garden of Les Tuileries (where he received the position of head gardener in 1637, after his father) which he modified in 1666-1672, creating the vast Champs-Elysées perspective. His work in 1656-1661 for Fouquet at Vaux-le-Vicomte earned him fame and fortune.
