Abstract
The appartement de la Reine was conceived as counterpart of the appartement du Roi at Versailles, but this composition isn't traditional in the French Court. Examining influences of the court society and the French diplomacy on this plan is this paper's issue. The symmetry of these two appartements is confirmed by the fact the subjects of these plafonds were based on the Seven Planets theme. It became clear that the composition of noble hotels was applied to Versailles and the equality between the king and the queen reflected royal intention to make the queen succeed to the Spanish Low Countries.
