Château de Versailles

Half-day trip to the Palace of Versailles 🕍 is a must-see attraction in Paris. The first time I came with a tour group, but the trip was too hasty and I didn't even set foot in the gardens 🌲. This time is a free trip. Tickets were purchased early on the official website in the hope of getting in early.

9:30 Smooth entry with QR code, if time permits, see first
✨️ Royal Palace Introduction Area Let's take a look at the clip 🎞, which introduces the addition of the royal palace and parks that each emperor expanded during each paragraph.
The history of the Palace of Versailles begins as a hunting palace built by Louis XIII, which was later extensively expanded by Louis XIV, making it the center and symbol of power for the French royal family. The palace was abandoned during the French Revolution, then restored and opened as a museum in the 19th century, and is today a world-famous cultural heritage.

Because we didn't really see it last time, this time we saw it 3 times🎞 before we entered the visit. It was wonderful.

Soon after entering the venue saw many historical statues, boutiques, then saw the magnificent
✨️Chateau de Versailles' Royal Chapel is one of the most luxurious and splendid spaces in the Palace of Versailles, built by Louis XIV between 1699-1710. The place where the king and members of the royal family listen to Mass every day. This place is so beautiful that I can't wait to leave🤩

✨️ Large and small rooms and bedrooms
There are plenty of historical murals🖼, furniture and statues. Extremely luxurious, magnificent and image-like architecture. And I see the furniture is still maintained very well.

✨️Galerie des Glaces (Grande Galerie) is the central corridor of the Palace of Versailles and the place where the most people take photos.
The Hall of Mirrors is the most notable part of the Palace of Versailles built by Louis XIV, and construction began in 1678. The Hall of Mirrors connects the Hall of War and the Hall of Peace.
The Hall of Mirrors replaced the terrace that originally connected the king's bedroom 🤴🏼 and the queen 👸🏼's bedroom, mainly because Louis XIV found the winter cold inconvenient, so he decided to convert the terrace into a long corridor.

Multiple crystal lamps, fine murals and gilded sculptures, through 357 mirrors opposite 17 windows facing the garden, create a luxurious visual effect and elegance, showing the power of Louis XIV and the achievements of France's prosperity and manufacturing at that time.

✨️Versailles Gardens 🌲⛲️🌲
The Gardens of Versailles are located on the west side of the palace, the estate was first established by Louis XIII as a hunting resort, and later under Louis XIV's planning into carefully manicured large French gardens, the grounds boast neat lawns, forests, flower beds, sculpture spray, flower paths, greenhouses, colonnades, temples, villages, zoo and numerous scattered marbles.

The garden was really too big, luxurious and carefully designed, the weather was too winter to walk in the garden for an hour or so, the trip was over.
