Bringing the Palace of Versailles back to life, returning it to the image of a Palace full of life by restoring its decorations and refurnishing the royal and princely apartments, resetting the scene to rediscover the ambiance of life at the Palace over the centuries.
rEDISCOVER VERSAILLES
In 1793, the Palace of Versailles was completely emptied: 17,000 lots of furniture and objects in the royal collections were dispersed at revolutionary sales. Since the beginning of the 20th century, generations of curators have passionately and untiringly hunted and identified furniture and objects that came from Versailles or were ordered for other royal or princely palaces in order to acquire them, if possible.
Thus, little by little, Versailles has once again become the home of some of the finest creations of the “Grand Siècle”, a moment of perfection in French art.
