About Palace of Versailles
France
The Palace of Versailles is one of the most opulent and historically significant royal residences in the world. Originally a hunting lodge for King Louis XIII, it was transformed and expanded by his son, Louis XIV, into a grand palace that symbolised the power and wealth of the French monarchy. The palace is renowned for its extravagant architecture, including the Hall of Mirrors, where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, and its stunning gardens, designed by André Le Nôtre, which feature perfectly manicured lawns, fountains, and sculptures. The estate includes the grand château, the vast gardens, and the Trianon palaces, which were personal retreats for the royal family. The Palace of Versailles is a UNESCO World Heritage site and offers an immersive experience into the grandeur of the French monarchy. You can tour the lavish state apartments, admire the works of art on display, and explore the expansive gardens. The palace is easily accessible from Paris and makes for an unforgettable day trip.
