Must-See Places in France

Palace of Versailles

This remarkable palace is located 15 kilometers from Paris in a village called Évry-sur-Oise, known for its pleasant climate and forested nature. We highly recommend including a visit to this palace in your itinerary during your tour to France.

The Palace of Versailles is a symbol of the unmatched power of the French monarchy and is therefore of great historical significance in the country of France. King Louis XIII had chosen the surrounding area of ​​this palace as his hunting grounds, and after the construction of the Palace of Versailles, it became the residence of French kings and a symbol of aristocracy in France.

The style and architecture of ancient buildings alone reflect historical truth. The architecture of the Palace of Versailles is one of the most inspiring structures in history. Interestingly, the lifespan of this palace and its buildings is just over 300 years, making it much younger compared to other famous ancient buildings in the world. Today, almost every expert who visits the Palace of Versailles finds it a living example of Baroque and Rococo architectural styles. In French Baroque architecture, great importance was placed on the decoration of the interior spaces of palaces, and this is well evident in Versailles.

In general, there were five chapels inside the Palace of Versailles, of which only the last one remains. When this chapel was built, it was named after Louis IX of France, and it was essentially dedicated to him; construction of the chapel was completed in 1710.

The Royal Opera House is located in the northernmost part of the palace and was used for the wedding of Louis XVI’s eldest son and Marie Antoinette. It should also be noted that this opera house was the main venue for theater and opera performances at the palace and was mostly used for the entertainment and extravagant parties of the royal family, but after the “Women’s March” event, it was no longer used as a royal residence. The design of this hall was entrusted to the French architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, and for this reason, it is also known as the Gabriel Theater.
