The Grand Trianon
The Grand Trianon is located 25 minutes' walk to the north west of the Palace of Versailles, built on the grounds of a village acquired by the sovereign. Unique in its original style of architecture, it was the work of Jules Hardouin-Mansart and the King himself, as Louis XIV was greatly involved in its creation in 1687. At that time, Versailles had been overrun by crowds of courtesans. The Trianon was intended as a private retreat.

Petit Trianon
Madame de Pompadour, who wished to “relieve the king’s boredom”, was the instigator of this small palace built by Ange-Jacques Gabriel between 1763 and 1768, close to the botanical gardens and the new menagerie. To please the Marquise who was always at the height of fashion, the architect abandoned the "rocaille" style and adopted a cubist form with straight lines in accordance with the latest "Greek style" architectural trend.
Only the garden level of the Petit Trianon is accessible to disabled visitors.
The Petit Trianon is open every day except Monday. During high season, it is open from midday to 18:30 (April to October) and from midday to 17.30 during low season (November to March).
