The gardens of Versailles lie in silence under the rising sun until finally a sparkling new day awakes. You can hear the Carillon from the church nearby. The court is bustling in preparation for the outdoor festivities. Badminton players are distracted by the wind, and you can see fleeting shadows scurrying through the labyrinth … until everything gets carried away, dancing to a never-ending Chaconne. This is what sunny Versailles sounds like when Lucile Boulanger, master of the gamba, and her partners take a stroll through its gardens, accompanied by French Baroque poets. A great way to start a Sunday.
