The Tapis Vert, or Green Carpet, is a ceremonial walkway in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. It was constructed by King Louis XIV and his courtiers to create an impressive entrance into the palace. The carpet is made up of more than 1,000 pieces of green wool fabric that are sewn together in intricate patterns and laid out on the floor in an elongated S-shape. The path leads from one end of the hall to the other and has become symbolic for its association with royal grandeur. The Tapis Vert is also known as “the king’s red carpet” due to its deep green hue which gives it a regal look.
