GK197338
King Louis XIV's fervent wish to build a residence as a symbol of his glory and absolute power gave rise to a somewhat grandiose and sumptuous Château which would cause the name of Versailles to echo around the world.
From the splendour of the State Apartments, emblematic of court life, to the refinement of the private cabinets, this guide follows the official visitor circuit to reveal the multiple facets of the most prestigious of royal residences, through to its gardens à la française, the Château de Trianon and the estate of Marie Antoinette.
