Musée des châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon

In spite of the many royal domains which he had at his disposal, it was at Versailles, where, according to the word of Saint-Simon, there existed only a "little house of cards" which Louis XIII had made there to no longer sleep on the straw. In 1661 Louis XIV chose to build a castle worthy of its prestige. Taking over the team that built Vaux-le-Vicomte, the ruler launched the largest construction site of the century that will employ up to 36,000 workers. In 1682, the Sun King and the court officially settled in Versailles. The castle was the home of the kings of France until the revolution of 1789.

Gardens of the enlightenment, 1750-1800

5 May 2026 27 September 2026

In spring 2026, at the Grand Trianon, the exhibition "Gardens of the Enlightenment, 1750-1800" offers a unique insight into landscape gardens in the 18th century. The exhibition tour brings together almost 160 works, including paintings, drawings, furniture, architectural plans, and costumes, spectacularly presented to showcase the birth of an art of landscape freed from the rules of the French formal garden and celebrating irregularity, fantasy and a philosophical evocation of nature. With close reference to the gardens commissioned by Marie-Antoinette at the Petit Trianon, the exhibition offers a sensitive rereading of iconic sites which visitors can then discover for themselves, such as the Belvedere, the Temple of Love and the Queen's Hamlet.

Curator

Elisabeth Maisonnier, Chief heritage curator, National Museum of the Châteaux of Versailles and Trianon.

Partners

The exhibition is a special partnership with the Bibliothèque nationale de France
