This area was the heart of Parisian life until the departure of the court to Versailles
in the 17th century. Le Marais is now on its way to be the trendiest place of the
capital, and is home to a lot of independent boutiques and concept stores, art
galleries, and chocolate and pastry shops. To allow more flexibility, you will use

“I dream of designing a magnificent vessel for Paris that symbolizes France's

top floors of the castle to discover another
facet of Versailles, made of secret doors and
small pathways. Far from the gold
decorations and high ceilings of the State
Apartments, Kings Louis XV and Louis XVI
arranged smaller apartments in these hidden
rooms and attics, to escape the crowd of
courtiers and the palace etiquette. Nothing
here has changed since the Revolution, and
the furniture sold away at that time is being
returned to the original rooms, for a real
immersion into the daily life of the Palace in
the 19th century.
