The Castle of Versailles, which has been on UNESCO�s World Heritage List for 30 years, is one of the most beautiful achievements of 18th-century French art. The site began as Louis XIII�s hunting lodge before his son Louis XIV transformed and expanded it, moving the court and government of France to Versailles in 1682. Each of the three French kings who lived there until the French Revolution added improvements to make it more beautiful.

From the central window of the Hall of mirrors the visitor look down on the grand perspective that leads the gaze from the Water Parterre to the horizon. This original perspective, which preceded the reign of Louis XIV, was developed and prolonged by the gardener Andr� Le N�tre by widening the Royal Path and digging the Grand Canal. This vast perspective stretches from the fa�ade of the Castle of Versailles to the railings of the park.
