Facts About Palace of Versailles (France) For Kids

Basic Information & History

The Palace of Versailles sits in the city of Versailles, just 12 miles (19 km) outside of Paris, France — that’s about the same distance as 210 football fields lined up end to end!

The Palace of Versailles wasn’t always a palace — it started as a simple hunting lodge in 1624, built by King Louis XIII when he needed a place to rest during his hunting trips!
