THE CHATEAU deVERSAILLES:
The 2300+ rooms of the Chateau de Versailles are sumptuously decorated with tapestries, painted ceilings, marble walls and parquet floors.
It is one of France's greatest masterpieces! A visit here confirms..."Versailles is the epitome of opulence!" The chateau was built to impress!
And impress it does! From the gold-leafed fence at its entrance way to the golden frogs of its fountain, you come to know... everything is architecturally designed to celebrate Louis XIV, the Sun King! Everything you see is eye candy - a feast for the eyes! The educational guide/historian provided by Rick Steves added interest and suspense to the palace with stories of life at court. Truly enjoyable!
