Another beautiful morning in Paris city, our last destination is the world-famous Palace of Versailles.
Versailles
Nearest Station : Versailles-Rive Gauche RER C, see the detail here
The ride from Paris to Versailles is about 30 minutes after you’ve taken the train and walk another 10-15 mnis from the station to the golden gate. Versailles, is a royal chateau in Versailles in the region of France. My only knowledge of this magnificent palace that it's the home of Louis XVI and his queen Marie Antoinette.
The Hall of Mirrors is the largest room in the Palace of Versailles. It owes its name to the seventeen mirror arches facing seventeen windows overlooking the Park.
I was really amaze with the interior of this spectacular palace, The palace was divided into many rooms such as Hall of Mirrors, The Drawing Rooms, The King's chamber, The Chapel, The Gallery, etc. This palace is so amazing full of paintings and sculptures, no wonder there are many visitor. You could see the detail interior of each rooms is so fascinating. But it's so difficult to take a great shot coz so many people in it.
The Battles Gallery will gave you a view and information about French military history. The paintings just so amazing representing most of the battle fought by French.
The garden of the Versailles Palace is Europe's largest palace garden.The garden is a very nice place to walk around or just sitting and relax after walking the palace. This whole place is really huge, so make sure you wear a comfortable shoes since you have to walk a lot through all palaces, garden and estate.
Make sure you have enough time to explore everything since the Trianon Palace and Marie Antoinette’s Estate are another attractions to see and they’re quite far from one another around 30 mins walk. There is also a mini-train that can take you from the main Palace to Trianon Palace and Marie Antoinette’s Estate but they do charge an extra fee.
