Hall of Mirrors (Galerie des Glaces)

The Hall of Mirrors, or Galerie des Glaces, epitomizes the opulence of the Palace of Versailles. Stretching 240 feet (73 meters) long, this grand ballroom features 357 mirrors set in 17 large arches, opposite 17 arcaded windows that offer views of the formal gardens. The hall’s lavish design and reflective surfaces create a dazzling interplay of light and space. Historically, it was here that the Treaty of Versailles was signed, formally ending World War I. Today, visitors can walk through this magnificent space, experiencing the same awe-inspiring atmosphere that has captivated guests for centuries.
