The Chateau de Versailles, one of France’s most visited tourist sites, is to house a new luxury hotel where visitors will have the opportunity to sleep like royals.


With peeling paint, faded walls and spider webs now common sights at the Chateau de Versailles, the hotel venture would attract private funds to spruce up several buildings in dire need of an upgrade.
Because Versailles is run by the French Govt and funds come out of the Ministry for culture, The property is at odds all the time with trying to have funding to have an on going upkeep, unlike the Vaux-le-Vicomte ( which is what Versailles was fashioned on) with it'a private funds and has always a fantastic upkeep.
So the French Govt is asking corporations or wealthy individuals to bid on an unused building at the  Versailles to make into a small, but luxurious hotel plus contributing to other buildings upkeep at the site. We shall see what happens in the coming months.
