The re-development of the pavilion dufour and the old Wing creates two new public spaces in the château de versailles. the old administrative offices have now made way for a new reception area between the cour royale (royal courtyard) and the cour des princes (princes? courtyard), as well as a large staircase leading to the gardens. visitors to the palace are invited to follow a loop, just like in most of the world?s greatest museums.
