This Michelin three-star-rated site showcases the magnificence of the French monarchy, from the reign of Sun King Louis XIV to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. The largest known palace in the world, it was a perpetual construction site until the French Revolution. Today, extensive restoration efforts are restoring the château and its grounds to their original glory.

Delight in the French-style Gardens designed by André Le Nôtre, offering a prime example of formal garden architecture.

The Hall of Mirrors, a highlight of the palace, replaces the former terrace and stands as a testament to architectural brilliance. Built between 1678 and 1684, this magnificent gallery offers a dazzling display of mirrors and breathtaking views. Explore the War Room, adorned with marble panels featuring trophies and gilded bronze weapons, commemorating the military victories that led to peace treaties.

Adjacent to the Apollo Room, an oval stucco bas-relief depicts Louis XIV on horseback triumphing over his enemies. The Peace Room, symmetrical to the War Room, showcases similar marble panel decorations and gilded bronze trophies, highlighting the benefits of peace brought by France to Europe.

Visit the Gardens of the Palace of Versailles

Don't miss the chance to wander through the expansive gardens. Gaze through the central window in the Hall of Mirrors to witness the breathtaking Grand Perspective, stretching into the horizon from the Water Parterre. These meticulously designed gardens were an extraordinary feat, with massive earthmoving, the creation of parterres, the construction of the Orangery, and the excavation of fountains and the Grand Canal.
