Adopt a linden tree

THE MORTEMETS LINDEN TREE alley IS RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL DESIGN

We are now replanting the linden tree alley which is the continuation of the Apollon Alley, connecting the Palace of Versailles to the Mortemets, a waterfowl reserve in Louis XIV’s hunting grounds.

Integrated in 1662 in the great landscape composition created by André Le Nôtre, gardener to the Sun King, it forms part of the famous perspectives of the gardens of Versailles.

ADOPT ONE OR SEVERAL TREES

Contribute to the Mortemets linden tree walkway replantation campaign:

• To pass on to future generations
• To celebrate a birth
• In honour of an important event
• In memory of a beloved person 

BECOME A PATRON

The adoption of a tree costs 1,000 € (purchase of the tree, transport, planting and a year’s maintenance).

By adopting a linden tree, you will receive a personalised adoption certificate, in your own name or that of the person to whom you want to dedicate your donation. You will also be entitled to a tax relief based on the amount of your donation.

For American taxpayers, you will be entitled to a tax deduction according to Article 501(c) of the US Internal Revenue Code.
