Notre-Dame de Versailles

The church is located only few minutes away from the central market and the Gardens of Versailles. Notre-Dame de Versailles, was built as a place of devotion in 1686 to serve the spiritual needs of the growing town. the size of the church is small but it’s beautiful neo-classical architecture will take your breath away. Until lately the church recorded all marriages, births and deaths of the French royal family. It contains statuaries by Pierre Mazzeline and Noël Jouvenet, and since August 2005 has been classified as a monument historique by the government of France.



Petit Trianon

Housed within the park of the Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon, covered on all four sides by gardens, was fashioned almost a century after its antecedent, planned for noble mistress Madame de Pompadour to stay and relax in. The Petit Trianon later became a shelter for revolutionary royal Marie Antoinette, who used the site as a sanctuary from her courtly responsibilities. Remarkably elegant woodwork decor, rich interior designs and grand marble columns characterize the Trianon.



Palace of Versailles

The Palace of Versailles is one of the most prevalent attractions in Europe and holds the beacon of being a UNESCO world heritage site for 30 years now. It stands as a spectacular example of 18th-century French art, built in 1623, it was transformed and extended by Louis XIV, before becoming the centre of political hegemony throughout the French Revolution.

Versailles’ Markets
