A special place, assembling a collection of objects associated with the famous French composer in the house where he was born: Claude Debussy's birthplace is located in the historic quarter of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. It was in this 17-century house in the town that Claude Debussy was born, on 22 August 1862, and spent his early childhood. His father ran a china shop on the ground floor. After the composer's death in 1918, it soon became the main gathering place of his many admirers. Once inside, you will discover a wonderful little inner courtyard, where a splendid wooden staircase will lead you up to the museum. The museum, officially recognised as a 'Maison des illustres' ('Houses of the Famous'), displays objects and photographs that help provide a better understanding of the composer's creative process. In fact, Debussy liked to surround himself with objects from different places and artistic movements, which influenced his music. For example, a Japanese lacquered panel, which came from his Parisian mansion, depicting two fish swimming under a willow, musically metamorphosed into 'Poissons d'or', a piano piece (1907). A small museum but a grand tribute to one of France's greatest composers!

The Grand Trianon was designed in 1687 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart to allow King Louis XIV to escape the excessive luxury of the Court and to safeguard his love affairs there. The site indeed exudes a sense of intimacy and refinement. The palace is inspired by Italian architecture and invites you to poetry and leisurely strolls. It was built on the site of Louis XIV’s former Porcelain Trianon. A little fun fact: in the past, the Grand Trianon was surrounded by thousands of potted flowers, which were changed every day. Today, this tradition is still maintained with each season. The spectacle was truly unique: flowerbeds bursting with blooms of every color and a wide variety of fragrances filled the air. Later on, the Grand Trianon was frequented by Napoleon Bonaparte and by Presidents of the Republic. From 1962 to 1966, General de Gaulle entrusted André Malraux, then Minister of Cultural Affairs, with the restoration of the Grand Trianon.

The Petit Trianon was built between 1763 and 1768 by the architect Gabriel, requested by Madame de Pompadour, mistress then friend of king Louis XV. Madame de Pompadour, who wished to “relieve the king’s boredom” — though no longer his mistress, she remained his friend — was the instigator of this small château, built by architect Gabriel between 1763 and 1768. It was erected near the Botanical Garden and the new menagerie, as Louis XV had a keen interest in the sciences. To please the marquise, always at the forefront of fashion, the king’s architect broke away from the rococo aesthetic and adopted a cubic form with very pure lines, in keeping with the brand-new “Greek style” then in vogue. Its simplicity is only apparent, for each façade is different, designed in relation to the space it overlooks: the courtyard, the French Garden with its elegant pavilion, the Botanical Garden, and the Florist’s Garden. Inside, one finds the same modernity of style. Simpler than the rest of the estate, the decoration of the Petit Trianon lies not in lavish materials — gilding is almost absent — but in the refinement of its sculptures, in a château entirely dedicated to nature. Madame de Pompadour died in 1764 and never saw the château completed. Today, it is above all the memory of Marie-Antoinette that it evokes. In 1774, Louis XVI gave the Trianon estate to his wife, who was able to live here a life apart — too much so for some — from the Court.

Each year, it is estimated that approximately 5 million people visit the Palace of Versailles, and between 8 and 10 million people walk its gardens. A place of immense beauty, Versailles stands as a symbol of France’s monarchy and its glorious history.

Since 1979, the Palace of Versailles has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It stands as one of the finest masterpieces of 17th-century French art. The Palace and the Trianon Estate are open every day, except Mondays. The Palace opens at 9 a.m., while the Trianon Estate opens only from 12 p.m. The Park and Gardens are open daily with free admission (access to the Gardens is ticketed on the days of the Musical Fountains Shows and Night Fountains Shows, as well as during the Musical Gardens). You can only access the Park via: the Queen’s Gate (Grille de la Reine, entrance for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles every day), the Saint-Antoine Gate (Porte Saint-Antoine, pedestrians and cyclists every day, vehicles only on weekends and public holidays), the Matelots Gate (Grille des Matelots, pedestrians and cyclists every day), from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., with last entry at 6:15 p.m. in high season, and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in low season. By exploring the Hall of Mirrors, the King’s State Apartments, and the Museum of the History of France, you step into a palace that, until 1789, was the heart of royal power and continued to evolve over the centuries. Originally, Versailles was nothing more than a hunting lodge built by Louis XIII. But it was here that Louis XIV chose to construct the majestic palace we know today, a symbol of absolute monarchy and French classical art. In the 1670s, Louis XIV commissioned the construction of the King’s and Queen’s State Apartments. The most emblematic creation of these ceremonial spaces is undoubtedly the Hall of Mirrors, designed by Mansart. During the following century, the palace kept expanding, with major works such as the Royal Chapel and the Opera. Today, the Palace covers 63,154 m², spread across 2,300 rooms. Although the Palace lost its role as the seat of power in 1789, in the 19th century it was given a new purpose: to become the Museum of the History of France, an idea launched by Louis-Philippe, who ascended the throne in 1830. Many rooms of the palace were then transformed to house collections recounting the great moments of French history, enriched until the early 20th century.

Since 2003, in the heart of the Grande Écurie of the Palace of Versailles, the Académie Équestre de Versailles has embodied an exceptional project: bringing together French classical riding tradition and contemporary creation. Founded by Bartabas, this unique company-school welcomes rider-artists and trains them in equestrian art, with absolute respect for oneself and for others. Transmission and excellence shape their daily life. “I wanted to create a school; a new kind of school, a sort of company-school where a philosophy of ‘living together’ could be invented, a school where horses would teach us to work in harmony, with respect for others, a school in perpetual motion, evolving at the rhythm of a human and a horse learning from one another. I imagined this Academy as a high-level school, capable of training rider-artists, but also as a place of personal fulfilment, a place where beautiful people are shaped. I never considered the act of transmission to be limited to passing on technique or know-how to others,” Bartabas – Extract from *Manifeste pour la vie d’artiste* Visitors are invited to discover a world apart, between light, discipline and poetry, offering an insight into every aspect of equestrian work. Every weekend, the Academy opens its doors for a singular experience: the discovery of its repertory performance, *La Voie de l’écuyère*, followed by a self-guided visit of the stables. SEASON PERFORMANCE “La Voie de l’écuyère”: every ballet corps needs a repertoire Emblematic of the Academy, *La Voie de l’écuyère* presents High School dressage placed at the service of sensitivity and emotion. The narrative thread remains faithful to the spirit of the original creation: the scenes evolve over time, along with the expertise of the riders and horses. Every weekend, this repertory performance choreographed by Bartabas reveals the work of the Academy. Based on the transmission of knowledge, it revisits its emblematic scenes, such as the horseback fencing routine or the ballet of Sorraia horses on long reins. Solos, pas de deux and carousels are punctuated by texts from great masters of equitation, bearing witness to the excellence of French classical dressage. All celebrate the precision and harmony of the bond between human and animal. AN EXCEPTIONAL SETTING An emblematic site of the Palace of Versailles, the Grande Écurie was designed in the 17th century by Jules Hardouin-Mansart at the request of Louis XIV. It once housed the king’s horses as well as the École des Pages, where young noblemen were trained in etiquette, dance, weapon handling and equestrian skills. A major centre of equestrian art, the Grande Écurie is the birthplace of French classical riding tradition, carried forward by the master riders of the École de Versailles and structured around the principles of lightness and balance, dear to François Robichon de La Guérinière. Today, it has reclaimed its artistic vocation. The Académie Équestre de Versailles continues this heritage while reinventing it: a living tradition, nourished by contemporary creation and dedicated to transmission. The presence of the Academy in the Grande Écurie thus continues the history of horses in Versailles and keeps alive, in a contemporary setting, the spirit of the great equestrian schools that shaped this place.

In the heart of a meander of the river Seine, go and explore the fluvial terraces and the remarkable wildlife it holds.
