About this Event
ABOUT THE STORY
Step into 17th-Century Versailles – Through Virtual Reality
Experience the forgotten heart of Versailles, where gardens once staged the grandeur of a rising empire.
In this one-of-a-kind VR journey, guided by the legendary landscape architect André Le Nôtre, you’ll rediscover spaces imagined by Louis XIV as the pinnacle of royal art, power, and entertainment.
🦁 The Royal Menagerie – One of Europe’s earliest zoos, filled with exotic animals gifted by foreign rulers. It once symbolized royal power and global reach.
🌀 The Labyrinth Grove – A fantastical garden built for the king’s son, filled with fountains and sculptures representing Aesop’s fables.🏛️ The Grotto of Tethys – A breathtaking palace of water and light, once a symbol of royal power and artistic innovation.
These gardens were designed as a living theatre — an artistic and political stage to dazzle the court and reflect the king’s absolute power. Today, they are reborn through immersive technology.
