King's State Apartment (Grand Appartement du Roi)

Höjdpunkten för ett besök i Versailles är att gå in i King's State Apartment (Grand Appartement du Roi), byggd för Louis XIV av Le Vau på 1670-talet. King's Apartment är en följd av salonger tillägnad gudarna och planeterna, som används för domstolsfunktioner.

De överdådiga drottningslägenheterna inkluderar privata rum och den gyllene drottningens sovrum, vars dolda dörr användes av Marie-Antoinette för att undkomma Paris-mobben under revolutionens tidiga dagar.

Det mest spektakulära rummet i hela palatset är det glittrande Galerie des Glaces (spegelsalen). Den barocka spegelfodrade hallen designades av Mansart 1678 och har spegelfodrade välvda fönster och förgyllda skulpturer som håller kristallkronor högt uppe.

Versaillesfördraget undertecknades i spegelsalen i slutet av första världskriget.
