The Grand Dauphin (1661-1711), Son of a king, father of a king, but never a king

The Palace of Versailles is presenting an exhibition devoted to the Grand Dauphin, Louis de France, the eldest child of Louis XIV. It traces the life of this often overlooked prince. As heir to the throne, he was the focal point of Bourbon dynastic ambitions, without ever reigning, but his education reflects the destiny which was his due.

1725. Native American allies at the court of Louis XV

The Palace of Versailles and the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac are presenting a new exhibition devoted to the visit by Native American allies to the court of Versailles. In 1725, four Native American chiefs and a Native American woman from the Mississippi valley were received in France on a diplomatic mission and met Louis XV. The exhibition retraces this memorable encounter and explores the links between France and the Indigenous nations of North America in the 18th century.
