Originally a hunting lodge for King Louis XIII, it was Louis XIV who transformed and expanded it into the immense palace we recognize today. Located just outside Paris, Versailles became the epicenter of political power in France during its heyday. With over 700 rooms, the palace is adorned with a wealth of art, intricate designs, and breathtaking architecture. The Hall of Mirrors, the palace's most celebrated room, has witnessed historic events, including the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, ending World War I.
