The Palace of Versailles will be opening their next exhibition later this month examining the life and patronage of Le Grand Dauphin.

According to their website:

The Palace of Versailles is presenting an exhibition devoted to the Grand Dauphin, Louis de France, the eldest child of Louis XIV. It traces the life of this often overlooked prince through nearly 250 works from French and international collections. As heir to the throne, he was the focal point of Bourbon dynastic ambitions, without ever reigning, but his education, residences and taste for the arts reflect the destiny which was his due. 

The show will run from 14th October 2025 until 15th February 2026.
