About Palace of Versailles
The Palace of Versailles has transformed from Louis XIV's hunting lodge to a symbol of French artistry and power.

Wander through the 2,300 rooms to see the extravagance of art and architecture in the era of Louis XIV.
The Queen's House, nestled in the gardens, was rumoured to be haunted by Marie Antoinette's ghost, with sightings of her spectral apparitions wandering the premises.
Versailles nurtured a musical heritage as acclaimed composers like Jean-Baptiste Lully and Christoph Willibald Gluck crafted timeless masterpieces, contributing to an unparalleled musical legacy.
During the winter season, the vast Grand Canal at Versailles transformed into an enchanting ice-skating rink, providing the royal court with the exhilaration of gliding across frozen waters.
In the 17th century, Versailles' gates, sculptures, and interiors shimmered with over 1,000 kilograms of gold leaf, symbolizing the opulent grandeur synonymous with the French monarchy.
