The Exhibition

This automn, the Petit Trianon homes a contemporary exhibition from the artist and photographer Patrick Hourcade. The tour includes 25 photographs taken at the Estate of Versailles during three nights spent by the artist at the heart of the royal residence and away from the lights. 

These photographs taken in the loneliness of the night are the result of three years of work, and offer a unique experience, almost intimate, with a Palace of Versailles imbued with both melancoly and magnitude.
