Palace of Versailles

The Palace of Versailles is a countryside palace famous for its grandeur located within the town of Versailles outside Paris. It is one of the many residences of the King of France and specifically the House of Bourbon. Its gardens are much larger than the already expansive building.

The palace was formerly used as a hunting lodge until it was converted over the course of over one-hundred years into the modern and grand palace that it is today, the building work starting with King Louis XIV.

The home is seldom occupied by the current monarch, Léopold of France and his family.

Marie Adeline of France
For much of her life, Marie Adeline of France resided alone within the Palace of Versailles while Léopold and his royal court fared in the Chateau of Choisy. In the August of 1753, she was summoned to the Chateau of Choisy as well to serve in the court of France.
