In the heart of Saint-Louis, one of Versailles’ oldest neighborhoods, the Scent Courtyard (Cour des Senteurs) carries on a tradition that dates back to the reign of King Louis XV, when it was known as the perfumed court. Reopened in 2013, this courtyard celebrates the world’s rarest fragrances and perfume traditions. Visitors can explore its carefully curated gardens, browse through specialized shops, and dine in charming restaurants, all while immersing themselves in the rich history and sensory delights of the perfume industry.
