When the château was built, Versailles was a country village; today, however, it is a suburb of Paris, some twenty kilometers southwest of the French capital. The court of Versailles was the center of political power in France from 1682, when Louis XIV moved from Paris, until 1789.
This place was absolutely beautiful! Every room was so elegant! When Louis XIV was crowned king he used over half of France's money to build this glorious palace and its surroundings. Here we saw many paintings, Marie Antoinette's area, and my favorite...the hall of mirrors! So cool!
