Besides statues, the palace is filled with numerous rooms, paintings, and antique artifacts. In the king's bedroom, the {{player}} can fully heal their Pokémon by briefly sleeping in the bed. Many tourists and guides can be found all around the castle, telling either their own opinions of the place or bits of its history. On the second floor, there is a hallway decorated with wall-sized mirrors. The hallway leads to the balcony, which offers an overview of the palace's gardens. | Besides statues, the palace is filled with numerous rooms, paintings, and antique artifacts.

The palace garden, | The palace garden, preceded by a bridge over a pond, contains statues of {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, two [[Legendary Pokémon]] from the [[Unova]] region. In addition, the garden is decorated with four hedge mazes, [[Poké Ball]] statues, and a fountain. The king of Kalos is said to have prized his garden back in the day, even holding garden parties out there. Three of the four hedge mazes are shaped to look like a {{p|Solrock}}, a {{p|Chandelure}}, and a male {{p|Pyroar}}. | ||
When the player first arrives at the palace with [[Shauna]], the palace's owner can be found in the entrance hall, looking for his lost {{p|Furfrou}}. The Furfrou can be found inside of a hedge maze at the garden, and the player and Shauna must team up to chase it to a dead end, preventing it from running away. After catching Furfrou, the player and Shauna are invited to watch fireworks at the balcony. Once the fireworks are over, the owner's butler will hand over the [[Poké Flute]] needed to wake up the {{p|Snorlax}} blocking {{rt|7|Kalos}}. | When the player first arrives at the palace with [[Shauna]], the palace's owner can be found in the entrance hall, looking for his lost {{p|Furfrou}}.

Parfum Palace is based on the {{wp|Palace of Versailles}}, located outside Paris, which was originally built as a hunting lodge by the {{wp|List of French monarchs|French king}} {{wp|Louis XIII of France|Louis XIII}} and later expanded into a palace by his son and successor, {{wp|Louis XIV of France|Louis XIV}}.

The palace is well known for being among the most opulent in Europe, and this opulence is referenced numerous times in the game. Like its game counterpart, the expansive gardens and man-made lake were the site of extravagant parties, a similarity which is pointed out by a visitor in Parfum Palace. Today, the site is a popular tourist attraction, which requires expensive upkeep. This is cynically echoed by the man who minds the front gate and defends the high entrance fee to [[Shauna]], saying that the proceeds will be used to maintain the museum, "probably." The major difference between the two palaces, however, is that Parfum Palace is apparently privately owned, whereas Versailles is owned and maintained by the French government. | ||
