Versailles' face to the world is quite different this year than in years past. The heavy renovations are part of a project to keep its continuing glory alive for future generations. The new gate, which is part of the project, increases the Chateau's stature by adding an accessory that highlights the dreams and accomplishments of the Sun King.
