Walking the halls of history & symphony of springs
Venture through the grandiose Hall of Mirrors, a marvel of 17th-century craftsmanship, and soak in the opulence of the Grand Apartments, each room a testament to the Sun King's love for luxury. Did you know? The Hall of Mirrors wasn’t just for show, it was also a passageway and a waiting room.
After touring the palace, venture into the expansive Palace Gardens, a masterpiece of symmetry designed by André Le Nôtre. If you’re visiting between April and October, make sure to catch the Musical Fountains Show, where fountains spring to life in perfect harmony with classical music.
