About
Quick facts: The Grand Trianon is a special palace of the Versailles Castle, built as a summer residence for King Louis XIV. Its pink marble columns immediately catch attention, giving the building a unique, airy atmosphere.
Highlights: The palace is surrounded by a vast French park, where the silence of the walk and the tranquility of the outdoor sculptures offer a unique experience. A secret is that in one wing, original 17th-century porcelain tiles are still preserved, which are rare in Europe.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes due to the large size of the park.
- Take photos near the main entrance where the pink marble columns stand out in the natural light.
- Avoid weekends to enjoy the gardens more peacefully.
- There are fewer visitors in the indoor halls, so you can wander there more peacefully.
