Visitors tour the Chateau de Versailles grounds during a test of a flame display as the equestrian venue for the 2024 Summer Olympics stands in the background, Friday, Aug. 2, 2024, in Versailles, France. Once the residence of French royalty, the chateau is one of the most popular tourist spots in Paris. Under the monarchy, horses were used by the royal family, its entourage and visitors to go hunting, show their equestrian skills and enjoy rides in the Versailles gardens. They were an essential part of festivities and a symbol of the king's power. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
