VERSAILLES PALACE

VERSAILLES PALACE, FRANCE

Versal

The third building campaign, begun after the death of Le Vau, was overseen by Jules Hardouin-Mansart from 1678 to 1684. During these renovations, the famous Hall of Mirrors was built from the originally open garden terrace on the piano nobile and lengthened to include three of the royal apartment rooms — those of Saturn, Jupiter and Venus.
