Highlights of Your Visit
The Palace of Versailles is more than just a building—it’s a symbol of French history and royal power. Originally King Louis XIV's home, it was constructed during the 17th century and continues to impress with its opulent interiors and carefully designed gardens.
Key Attractions
The Gallery of Coaches offers an impressive display of royal carriages, sedan chairs, and sleighs from the 18th and 19th centuries. The Royal Tennis Court is historically significant as it was here that the Tennis Court Oath took place in 1789—an event marking the start of the French Revolution.
Visitors can also check out Temporary Exhibitions, which change regularly to highlight art pieces, historical items, and themes related to Versailles’ rich past. The Park surrounding the palace is open for free, offering a peaceful spot for walking or enjoying a picnic while taking in the scenery.
