Historical background    
 
When the Château of Versailles became the King’s official place of residence, Jules Hardouin-Mansart built two twin buildings to shelter the King’s 600 horses, but also the equerries, stablemen, musicians and pageboys. These buildings, outstanding by their dimensions, the nobility of their architecture and quality of their sculptured decoration, harmoniously enclose the Military’s practice area known as the "Place d’Armes".

The work started in 1679 and was completed by 1683, by which stage the Stables of Versailles had achieved perfection.
