Versailles is a city in the western suburbs of Paris, known worldwide for the Château de Versailles and its gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Originally a small village, Versailles was transformed in the 17th century when King Louis XIV decided to move his court and government from Paris to the newly built palace.
The Palace of Versailles served as the principal royal residence of France from 1682 until the start of the French Revolution in 1789. The city has maintained its connection to French political life, as it now serves as the seat of the Parliament when meeting in Congress and houses numerous national institutions.
Beyond its famous palace, Versailles is home to several museums and cultural institutions that reflect its rich historical heritage. The city's layout, with its wide avenues radiating from the palace, demonstrates the influence of classical French urban planning.
