King’s State Apartment (Grand Appartement du Roi)

The King’s State Apartment, or Grand Appartement du Roi, is a series of opulent salons within the UNESCO-listed Palace of Versailles. Built for Louis XIV by architect Louis Le Vau in the 1670s, these apartments are a testament to the grandeur of the French monarchy. Among the most notable rooms is the Hall of Mirrors, known as the ‘Galerie des Glaces,’ where the Treaty of Versailles was signed at the end of World War I. Visitors today can explore these historic spaces, admiring the intricate decor and reflecting on the significant events that have unfolded within their walls.
