I nformation
The estate of Versailles You are about to visit the Palace and gardens of Versailles, which count among the most presti- gious of the world’s heritage sites and represent the finest and most accomplished achievement of 17th century French art. King Louis XIII’s former hunting lodge was transformed and enlarged by his son Louis XIV, who installed his court and government there. The town that was built around the Palace bears witness to this rich period of French History. Plan your day out discovering all the splendours of Versailles thanks to the range of possibilities available. Visit all the different parts of the Palace freely: King’s and Queen’s State Apartments, Chapel and Opera House, History of France Galleries, Dauphin’s Apartments (the heir to the throne) and at weekends Mesdames’ Apartments (Louis XV’s daughters). Then walk through the gardens and groves to the Grand Trianon and Marie-Antoinette’s Estate.
