The King's Stables are located in Versailles, at 5 Carnot street, a few hundred meters from the Palace. Constituting the Royal Stables (an institution employing hundreds of people[1] at the time of Louis XIV's installation at Versailles), they were built in 1672.
Deemed too small, they were quickly replaced in the 1680s by the Petite Écurie and the Grande Écurie of the Place d'Armes. They were then offered to the Queen and became the Queen's Stables.
They are now occupied by the Versailles Court of Appeal.
They were listed as a historic monument in 1978.[2]
