During the conflict of 1939-1945, the Palace of Versailles and its gardens changed their appearance to better protect themselves. Deemed particularly threatened, the monument took on "war attire" from the summer of 1939 and gradually resumed its appearance over the following years.
In turn barricaded, occupied then liberated, this national emblem reveals new facets in this work, largely devoted to photography. A selection of photos and documents, brought together for the first time in the form of an album, shows us the castle at the heart of the war and the torments of the mid-20th century.
