Overlooking the Marble Court (''cour de marbre''), these rooms are situated in the oldest part of the chateau in rooms originally designated for use by the queen in Louis XIII’s chateau. Owing largely to the discomfort of the ''grand appartement du roi'' and to the construction of the Hall of Mirrors, Louis XIV began to remodel these rooms for his use shortly after the death of Maria Theresa in 1684. The ''appartement du roi'' evolved to become the everyday working quarters for Louis XV and Louis XVI. Initially, the ''appartement du roi'' consisted of a suite of eight rooms that issued from the Queen’s Staircase (''escalier de la reine''). The number was reduced to seven after 1701 and to six in 1755. ==''Vestibule''== The vestibule is paneled in marble and lighted by two windows that opened onto the ''cour royale''. In 1701, in order to provide more light to the staircase, the south wall opposite the windows was opened, thus creating a loggia from the vestibule. During the latter part of Louis XIV’s reign, the Queen’s staircase and the vestibule served as entrance to the ''appartement du roi'', the ''grand appartement de la reine'', and the apartment of Madame de Maintenon.〔Félibien, 58; Piganiol, 118; Verlet, 209.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「appartement du roi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
