  • The Hall of Mirrors is the central gallery and most remarkable feature of King Louis XIV's third building campaign. The distinctive feature of the hall are the seventeen arches, each containing twenty-one mirrors, that reflect the seventeen arcaded windows overlooking the gardens. The room demonstrated that the new French production of mirrors, which at the time were luxury objects, was capable of stealing the monopoly away from Venice.
  • The Hall was used by courtiers and visitors passing through, waiting and meeting people. Used for diplomatic receptions, with the throne at one end so that ambassadors needed to cross the entire hall watched by the court. The Gallery hosted the wedding celebrations of the Duke of Burgundy, grandson of Louis XIV, in 1697, and of the son of Louis XV in 1745. The masked ball for the wedding of Marie-Antoinette and the Dauphin, the future Louis XVI, in May 1770. It was here that the treaty of Versailles was signed on 28th June 1919, which sealed the end of the First World War. Since then, the presidents of the Republic of France continue to receive the official hosts of France here.
