Origin and history

The Pavillon des Sources de Versailles is a monument located in the city of Versailles, in Île-de-France. Built in the 17th and 18th centuries, it is part of the National Estate of the Palace of Versailles, an architectural complex emblematic of the French monarchy. This pavilion, although less known than the main castle, participates in the heritage wealth of the site, marked by the influence of the great architects of the period.

Ranked under the title of the Historical Monuments by Decree No. 2024-472 of 24 May 2024, the Pavillon des Sources enjoys full protection of its interior parts. This decree confirms its membership in the national domain, stressing its importance in the architectural and cultural history of Versailles. The masters associated with this pavilion, Jacques IV Gabriel and Maurice Gabriel, are major figures of French architecture, known for their work in the service of the crown.

The official address of the pavilion, 11 Carnot Street in Versailles, places it in a central district of the city, close to other elements of the royal estate. Although information on its current use (visits, rentals, etc.) is not specified in the available sources, its integration into the national domain suggests a heritage and potentially touristic vocation. The location, noted as "passable" in the Merimée database, indicates a correct geographical identification, without major ambiguity.
