It might be hard to believe, but originally, this intricate structure was just a modest hunting lodge made of brick and stone for Louis XIII. His successor Louis XIV (known as the Sun King) decided to take it in another direction, transforming it into a grand tribute to French royal architecture, art, and elegance. There was no holding back in its design or construction (with over 1,200 fireplaces!).

The opulence you'll be able to experience with your Versailles tickets is best reflected in the Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors), a 75-meter long ballroom adorned with statues and busts. The 357 mirrors that embellish the 17 arches facing the windows.
