THE VERSAILLES ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Château de Versailles

You can pick out the grand Neoclassical and French Baroque architecture as soon as you arrive at the Château de Versailles. Located in Versailles in the Yvelines department of France, this royal palace was started in 1661. It is a world-famous art museum and a classified historical monument that attracts 4,741,758 visitors every year. I've noticed the crowds are always buzzing around the gates, though the scale of the place makes room for everyone. It is a sight that really shows off the style of the era.

Galerie des Carrosses

You might expect another gallery of paintings, but this is a history and transport museum. The Galerie des Carrosses is part of the Public Establishment of the Palace, Museum and National Estate of Versailles. Established in 1831, the museum features an array of carriages, mainly from the 19th century. I've found the scale of these vehicles quite impressive when you see them up close. It is located in Versailles, France, and remains a key spot for those interested in how people traveled in the past.

Musée Lambinet

You might expect every museum here to be about the palace, but the Musée Lambinet is a municipal art museum focused on the history of the town itself. Founded in 1932, it is located in the hôtel Lambinet, which the heirs of Victor Lambinet left to the town in 1929. The building has been classed as a monument historique since 1944. I always find the local stories here a refreshing change of pace from the royal crowds, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people who actually lived and worked in the city.

Opéra Royal

The interior decoration of the Opéra Royal is constructed almost entirely of wood. To create a more opulent look, Augustin Pajou used a technique known as faux marble to paint these surfaces. This space is the main theatre and opera house of the Palace of Versailles, designed by the architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel. It is a place where the grandeur of the court met the performing arts. I always find it funny how convincingly the wood mimics stone once you are actually inside the room.

Statue équestre de Louis XIV

You will first notice a bronze equestrian statue of the King of France Louis XIV situated on the Place d'Armes in front of the Palace of Versailles. This sculpture was created in 1836 and remains a prominent feature for anyone arriving at the estate. While it currently overlooks the square, the statue was located in the cour d'honneur until 2008–2009. I always think it looks quite regal against the palace backdrop, though you have to keep an eye out for us pigeons landing on the bronze. It is a great spot to pause and take in the scale of the surrounding architecture.

Le Potager du Roi

Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie created Le Potager du Roi between 1678 and 1683. This garden in Versailles produced fresh vegetables and fruits for the table of the court of Louis XIV. I always find it impressive how much effort went into keeping a royal menu fresh. Today, the École nationale supérieure du paysage runs the grounds, maintaining the site's legacy. Whether you are a fan of botany or history, the layout of this space is worth a look. It is a great spot to see how royal gardening worked in the past.

It occupies part of what was once the Domaine royal de Versailles and is now a World Heritage Site and a classified historical monument. You can see how André Le Nôtre perfected the classic French formal garden style across the 800 ha of land. I've found that the scale of the greenery is quite a change from the palace rooftops, providing a wide open view of the horizon.

Let me show you Solitude, a maison de plaisance located in Versailles. This building is designed in the Classicism style and was started in 1762. Ange-Jacques Gabriel was the architect who created this space. It is a fine example of how the Classicism style was used for a pleasure house, focusing on symmetry and proportion. I have noticed the lines of the building are quite sharp from where I perch on the nearby eaves, making it a very tidy target for a golf ball to bank off of before it holes out.

La Maison du Billard

Don't let the name fool you; this isn't a sports hall, but an ornamental farm. Located in Versailles, La Maison du Billard was started in 1783 and designed by the architect Richard Mique. It is part of a village that has the Queen's House at its center. If you look closely, you can see a wooden gallery that connects the Billiard house to the Queen's House. I've always found the layout of these little buildings quite charming, and the way they are linked together makes the whole area feel like a secluded getaway from the main palace.
