Pavillon de musique de la comtesse de Provence, Neoclassical pavilion in Versailles, France

The pavilion features a circular music room with an octagonal salon decorated with stucco garlands and medallions imitating Wedgwood porcelain.

Built in 1784 by architect Jean-François Chalgrin for Marie Joséphine of Savoy, wife of future King Louis XVIII, the pavilion served as a retreat from court tensions.

The music salon's circular design creates specific acoustic properties that made it an important venue for musical performances in the late 18th century.

Located at 111 Avenue de Paris in Versailles, the pavilion covers 800 square meters and is surrounded by a 4000 square meter garden.

The interior walls display floral frescoes and trompe l'oeil decorations that reflect the English garden aesthetic popular during the period.
