The history of building the palace lasted 50 years. It was built in the 17th century on the site of a small hunting lodge of the father of Louis XIV - King Louis XIII, where as a child they spent time together, amusing themselves with hunting and forest walks.

This palace was destined for a long time to become a symbol of the power of France and the absolute power of its monarchs, an object of envy and delight for the whole world, a place for making historical decisions, redistributing world borders, wars and reconciliations, rebellions and revolutions, birth and death, gossip and intrigue, secrets and deceptions, meetings and partings, holidays and everyday life!
