About Versailles Old Town

Built in a grid pattern under Louis XIV and Louis XV, the area retains its original character with elegant period architecture, cobblestone streets, and intimate courtyards.

The neighborhood predates the Palace's fame. The area around Vieux-Versailles was originally a prosperous medieval village that Louis XIII chose as his hunting ground in 1623. While the Palace grew to dominate the world's imagination, this village quarter survived and evolved alongside it.
