Step into the world of elegance at the Great Stables

Next, prepare to be awed by the majestic Great Stables, a hallmark of 18th-century architecture. These stables, designed to house 240 horses, were the setting for extravagant receptions, where princes and kings were guests. Today, the Great Stables are home to the Museum of the Horse, a favorite among visitors. Adding to the royal atmosphere is a beautiful fountain, making the Dome a perfect place for festivities, much like in the 18th century. As you head back to Paris, with a newfound appreciation for royal art, you'll understand why this experience is a must for history and horse lovers alike.
