Salle du Jeu de Paume, Royal tennis court in Versailles, France
The building features black-painted walls to help players track balls, with a blue ceiling decorated with fleurs-de-lys motifs throughout the space.
On June 20, 1789, 578 deputies of the Third Estate gathered in this hall and took an oath not to separate until France had a constitution.
The court tennis hall displays the names of all oath signatories on its walls, along with Luc-Olivier Merson's interpretation of the Tennis Court Oath.
The hall opens Tuesday through Sunday from 12:30 to 17:30, with guided tours lasting 90 minutes and explaining the French Revolution's beginning.
This building became France's first protected historical monument in 1848, marking the start of French heritage preservation efforts.
