Pavillon Dufour, Royal entrance pavilion at Palace of Versailles, France
The Dufour Pavilion stands at the left side of the Royal Court, featuring classical architecture with stone facades and symmetrical design elements.
Napoleon commissioned architect Alexandre Dufour to construct this pavilion between 1818 and 1820, replacing a wing from the 1668 extension.
The pavilion houses Ore restaurant on its first floor, where visitors can experience French gastronomy in a setting that combines heritage with modern design.
The ground floor contains admission desks, information stations, and a shop, serving as the main entry point for individual visitors to the Palace of Versailles.
A contemporary staircase in the Cour des Princes area connects different levels through a naturally lit basement with glass guardrails.
