The Court of Honor is the main ceremonial chamber at the Palace of Versailles. Located on the first floor, it was designed by Louis Le Vau and completed in 1686. The grandiose chamber features a large ceiling frescoed with scenes from Greek mythology and three large chandeliers hanging from its ornately decorated walls. Its marble columns are adorned with gilded bronze capitals, while its golden floors sparkle under the light of hundreds of candles. The Court of Honor also served as a reception room for foreign dignitaries visiting Versailles and was often used to host extravagant parties and state banquets.
