The salon de l'œil de bœuf or Antechamber of the Œil-de-Bœuf was formed in 1701 by combining two adjacent rooms, the deuxième antichambre and chambre du roi.
Taking its name from the œil de bœuf (oval) window located in the south cove of the ceiling, the salon de l'œil de bœuf features a gilt-stucco running frieze that decorated the cove of the room's ceiling and features a trellis-work background on which are groups of dancing putti.
