Listed as a World Heritage Site for more than 30 years, the Palace of Versailles is one of the finest achievements of French art in the 1682th century.

Created in 1661 by the gardener André Le Nôtre at the request of Louis XIV himself, the gardens are just as sublime as the castle itself!

Given by King Louis XVI in 1774, the Petit Trianon and its park reveal the intimacy of its famous owner: Marie-Antoinette.

Restored in 2008, the Petit Trianon reveals the art of living, but also refinement and eclecticism of a sovereign who knew how to preserve her freedom of thought.
