The 1.8mlong installation marries the architecture of the Palace itself and its location in the park.

The huge model offers an appreciation of the size of the building and its position at the heart of the gardens and the elements that constitute the façade, with a set of images in backlit relief.

The model details certain typical architectural elements at different phases of construction, such as the bas-relief of the Louis XIII brick façades or a neoclassical version of the same elements built in the reign of Louis XIV.
