Garden For Patrons: The Versailles Spectacle occurs every summer night but on Fridays there is an extra-price gala performance (1000 francs, for further restaura-tion of the chateau) with many hundreds of chairs conveniently placed in the garden for patrons. The show is called A Toutes les Gloires de la France and re-creates the whole drama of this master-chateau, from its construction and enlargement under the 13th, 14th and 15th Louis to the signing of the Treaty of Versailles after Germany's defeat in the First World War. The text is by Andre Maurois, with a "garden supplement" by Jean Coc-teau.The inclusion of an arresting object within a small garden is an excellent way of detracting the eye from adjacent buildings and into the garden itself. The focal point in this garden is an ornate wrought-iron seat, which leads the eye down the garden. The rather austere rectangular lawn is surrounded by a mass of pretty, shrubby little plants, which together help to soften the overall look of the garden.
