The Pavillon de Marsan is one of the four grand appartements de la reine located in the Palace of Versailles. Built between 1679 and 1681, it was originally used as an apartment for Louis XIV’s daughter-in-law, Françoise d’Orléans-Longueville. The pavilion is situated on the south side of the palace, overlooking a formal garden created by André Le Nôtre. It consists of two rooms – a salon and an alcove bedroom – with painted walls and gilded woodwork. Its decorations include allegorical frescoes depicting themes from classical mythology as well as portraits of members of the royal family.
