Symbolising the segregation of the King and the people, the Royal Railings were removed in 1789 at the time of the Revolution and never replaced. In 2003, Château de Versailles launched a huge reconstruction plan including the restitution of these magnificent railings designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart in 1680.
Louis-Jospeh Lamborot and his company were commissioned to oversee this project. Then began in-depth, almost archaeological research to find the trace of the original railings. In 2008 the foundations were laid as were the two stone sentry huts beneath the statues of Peace and Abundance, the works of sculptors Coysevox and Tuby.
