Pleasure palace, built by order of Louis XIV, absolutely worth seeing

A small pleasure palace in the park of Versailles, commissioned by Louis XV. A must-see

We never get tired of it

In Greek mythology, the god APOLLO (also: Apollon) was associated with, among other things, the famous oracle of Delphi. According to tradition, the last oracle of Phytia (this was the title of the seer/fortune teller who lived there) in the second half of the fourth century - i.e. when Christianity was spreading more and more - is said to have been: "Tell the king that the beautifully constructed house has fallen. Phoibos Apollon has no refuge anymore, the sacred laurel is withering, its springs are silent forever, the murmuring of the water has ceased."

Magnificent view of the castle park. Access is free for bikes, and there are several circuits to practice in the park. Favor visits outside the tourist season to better enjoy the paths.

In 1758, Louis XV decided to build a new palace in the middle of his gardens, which he had already been working on for about ten years at that point. He commissioned Ange-Jacques Gabriel, the king's first architect, to build a pavilion large enough for him and part of his entourage to live in. With the Petit Trianon, Gabriel created a blueprint for the neoclassical movement - a perfect example of the "Greek style" that was taking Europe by storm at the time.

Originally a retreat for Louis XIV's family, the Grand Trianon Palace was later used by Marie Leszczynska during the summer months. Source: https://en.chateauversailles.fr/discover/estate/estate-trianon/grand-trianon
