The Dauphin and Dauphine’s apartment won’t be completed with period furniture until 2020, but they have also just been restored and are now hosting the new exhibition A taste of Marie Leszcyńska.

You’ll be able to learn more about this discrete, little-known queen who nonetheless reigned at Versailles for a record 42 years. ?

Another new exhibition Madame de Maintenon. In the corridors of power celebrates the tercentenary of her death and recounts her extraordinary after being born in a prison and finally going on to become the Sun King’s wife in 1683.

A lot of beautiful architecture and interesting exhibitions await you in Versailles, not to mention the gardens… Don’t forget to check out how busy the place is before setting off!
