    The town of Versailles grew up around the château, and both of its churches in the record were royal foundations: Notre-Dame in the north of the town, the parish of the court under Louis XIV, and Saint-Louis to the south, raised under Louis XV.

    Jules Hardouin-Mansart built Notre-Dame from 1684; his grandson, Jacques Hardouin-Mansart de Sagonne, built Saint-Louis from 1743. Saint-Louis is now the cathedral of the diocese of Versailles.

    Both visits fall on the same day, 10 June 2025.
