This WHS, located in the Ile-de-France region, was the principal residence of French monarchs from King Louis XIV to King Louis XVI for over a century. The construction of the Palace of Versailles began in 1624 CE, and over the years, under the patronage of the various kings, many architects, artists, and landscape designers contributed to produce the palace, as it seen today, having been the inspiration for other European palaces. The palace is surrounded by gardens designed by Le Notre, credited as the creator of the typology of French-style gardens.
