The so-called Gabriel wing can be found at the north end of Château de Versailles’ Royal Court. The hall’s construction began in 1774, led by architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel under the reign of Louis XV. After the King’s death it was never completed. Still intact, the magnificent vaulted ceiling in the Gabriel hall was finished by Louis-Joseph Lamborot’s team in 2003. Working from original plans, the vaulted coffered ceiling with its stone roses was finally revealed. Continuing and finalising a project three centuries later was a moving experience!
