Luis and JJ at the Court of Honor

Known as the Cour d’Honneur, or Court of Honor, this 17th-c. forecourt reflects the grandeur of absolute monarchy under Louis XIV. With its classical symmetry, red brick and stone façades, and gilded ironwork, it was designed to awe visitors approaching the royal residence—symbolizing the king’s supreme authority and control over space and spectacle.
