Firstly, it has striven to contribute to Versailles’ international prestige. This has been achieved through the Society’s ever increasing membership, whose benefits include a programme of lectures and cultural visits, both in France and abroad, as well as free access to the Palace and various other advantages.

The Society’s second main goal is to raise funds to enrich the collections and maintain Versailles. It seeks to encourage gifts and donations in order to assist the Single Public Institute of Versailles and Trianon’s property, which enhances and restores the Palace and the park.
To recognize the generous support offered by the Society, the Palace of Versailles will organise a temporary exhibition celebrating the centennial anniversary of the Société des Amis de Versailles, in 2007.
