This historic site witnessed the Serment du Jeu de Paume the 20th of June 1789, a pivotal moment in French history. It was in this very hall that the 578 deputies vowed not to disband and to grant France a constitution.
Le Garden and the Cour des Senteurs
Just steps from the Place d’Armes and Versailles Palace, discover French savoir-faire through decorative arts, fine dining, gastronomy, olfactory delights, and the heritage of Toile de Jouy. At the Cour des Senteurs square, you can visit La Boutique Royale and La Savonnerie Royale, as well as La Table du 11, La Cave du 11, and Chez Molly.
Classified as a historic monument since 1906, Saint-Louis Cathedral was built between 1743 and 1754 in the Saint-Louis district to create symmetry with the Notre-Dame quarter. Here, you will discover a Baroque masterpiece and the artworks it houses: sculptures, paintings, and an organ.
To discover the history of the city of Versailles, be sure to visit this museum, opened in 1932 and renovated in December 2020. Housed in an 18th-century hôtel particulier, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the art of living in Versailles during the 18th century and the French Revolution through its collections.
Covering an area of 9 hectares, this kitchen garden was created at the request of Louis XIV between 1678 and 1683 and remains in operation today. You can explore the designs of Jean-Baptiste de la Quintinie and purchase fresh produce at the onsite shop.
Voted “the most beautiful market in the Île-de-France region,” it has welcomed merchants in the same location since the 17th century. Just like at the Cour des Senteurs, your senses will be awakened by a vibrant array of colors and flavors.
Do you enjoy leisurely walks and picnics? This space was created between 1679 and 1682 by a regiment of Swiss Guards. You will also find a replica of a work by Bernini: the equestrian statue of Louis XIV.
