A World Humanity Heritage Site, testimony to French culture and architecture, the Palace of Versailles represents one of the flagship creations of French art in the seventeenth century. 

Boasting close to 60,000 works, the collections housed in the Palace of Versailles showcase more than 5 centuries of French history.

The main palace was in bygone days the very heart of French royal power and the seat of the French monarch. Nowadays, it serves as a national museum devoted to French history.

Located just 40 minutes from Paris in the town of Versailles, this palace is an historical monument, an unmissable spot on the French landscape.

A heritage of humanity site, the Palace of Versailles is at the same time, a royal residence, an historical museum and a national palace, welcoming close to 15 million visitors each year, attracted by both its architectural harmony as well as its history.

More than one hundred rooms bear testament to the former royal abode’s lavishness, while a hundred more display a collection of paintings and sculptures from the French History Museum, devised by Louis Philippe in 1834. From the royal courtyard, saunter freely around the different trails the palace offers and reach them by crossing through the gardens, the Estate of Trianon and the Hamlet of Marie Antoinette!
