Planned Giving with the Société des Amis de Versailles

Donors make a vital contribution to Versailles. Their generosity allows for the return of precious objects to the collections and for restorations that are essential to the spirit of Versailles and to the experience of visiting it today. The Société des Amis de Versailles welcomes your planned gift in the form of a bequest or life insurance policy. By supporting the Société des Amis de Versailles, you ensure that future generations from all over the world can explore the rich legacy of Versailles. With their permission, donors are listed in our “Grand Livre de Mécénat,” permanently inscribing them our vibrant international community of philanthropists.  

Your gift may benefit from estate tax exemption in your country of citizenship—please consult your lawyer or notary.
