The Palace of Versailles, Mont-Saint-Michel, and the Château de Chambord. Three architectural masterpieces, among the most celebrated in the world. And yet, these iconic monuments are still far from having revealed all their secrets.
How were they designed and built? What innovations did they give rise to? How have they stood the test of time? And what measures are being taken today to preserve them? Alongside international experts – historians, engineers, architects, and craftsmen – we will attempt to unravel the many mysteries that continue to surround these emblematic structures.
Thanks to exclusive access, expert analysis, and 3D reconstructions, this documentary series takes us behind the scenes of three extraordinary treasures, to reveal what lies beneath the surface.
