Marie Antoinette would definitely approve of this.

The Palace of Versailles has taken part in some of the most iconic moments in history.

From being the opulent home of the French royal family before the entire country decided to revolt in 1789.

To being the meeting place of the victors of World War 1 to decide the punishment imposed upon the losers...a punishment which ultimately led to the beginning of World War 2 - which would then go on to shape the political landscape for the rest of the 20th century...

Anyway enough of the history lesson, what we're trying to say is that The Palace of Versailles is a pretty big deal!

And now it's about to add 'rave hotspot' to its repertoire.

The iconic French Château has revealed it will be hosting an electronic music festival, Versailles Électro, this summer, right at the foot of its iconic Hall of Mirrors.

For one night only, on Saturday 8th June, the Hall of Mirrors will be hosting French DJs from Ed Bangers Records, the former manager of Daft Punk, with a line-up including the likes of Breakbot x Irfane, Busy P, Myd and So Me.

The picture-perfect landscaped gardens next to the hall will be transformed into a giant dancefloor where guests can party like royalty.

The best part is that you're not going to need a royal budget if you want to check it out.

The cheaper early bird tickets start from €22 online, while standard tickets will be €30 online.

There's also VIP packages on offer from €160 which include access to a private lounge, an unlimited buffet and a few glasses of champagne.

You can find out more on the official Versailles Électro website.
