Palace and Park of Versailles, Royal estate and gardens in Versailles, France
The Versailles domain encompasses 800 hectares with formal French gardens, fountains, sculptures, and a grand palace designed for French monarchy.
King Louis XIV transformed this hunting lodge into the center of French royal power in 1661, making it the residence of French kings until 1789.
The Hall of Mirrors contains 357 mirrors decorating a gallery where courtiers gathered and where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919.
The estate opens every day except Mondays, with earliest access at 9 AM through the main gate or the Queen's Gate near the train station.
The gardens contain 50 water fountains operating during spring and summer, using the same hydraulic system designed in the 17th century.
