The Orangerie is a building not a garden

The photographs are confusing as one may be led to think that an Orangerie is an orchard and that the trees grow outdoors. The only interior photo shows a gallery full of paintings. The Orangery houses the trees during the Winter indoors in three long galleries and in Summer the trees, grown in containers, are moved outdoors into the formal garden known as the parterre. Photos of the interior galleries would clarify this as most of the current photos are of the parterre. [1] Andrew ranfurly (talk) 22:01, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
