Petite Écurie, Royal stable at Place d'Armes, Versailles, France.

The Petite Écurie features five stone courtyards with a central hemicyclic colonnade and symmetrical wings adorned with rectangular windows and sculptural elements.

Jules Hardouin-Mansart constructed this stable between 1679 and 1682 to house royal carriages and horses, employing over 1000 staff during Louis XIV's reign.

The building contains a collection of 5,000 sculptures and casts of ancient Roman art, established through Jean-Baptiste Colbert's directives under Louis XIV.

The Sculpture Gallery opens every Saturday and Sunday from 12:30 to 18:30, with final entry at 17:45, offering visitors access to remarkable artistic collections.

The facility houses the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Versailles and the Centre for Research and Restoration of Museums of France.
