Beautiful architecture and surrounding space. The queue passes quite quickly in time if the tickets are purchased online. The palace itself is large and beautiful, but not as rich and luxurious as the Hermitage. I really liked Trianon. Quite an airy space with pleasant interiors, where Marie Antoinette lived. The territory of Versailles is huge, closer to Trianon there is a pleasant coffee shop with croissants and not only that, you can have a snack. It is better to go back by local transport, such as an electric train.

Louis 14 created not just a palace, but a whole universe of luxury, where every day turned into a theatrical performance. The Sun King understood that power should dazzle its subjects with its splendor. The mirror gallery reflected not only the light, but also the boundless ambitions of the monarch. Yes, the treasury was empty, France was suffocating from debts, and the people were starving. But the question is: what price can you put on something that has become a symbol of French genius? The king left a masterpiece to his descendants, which is admired by millions of people from all over the world. Today, Versailles is a grandiose treasure trove of art with a huge art gallery, bringing in millions of euros from tourism and giving the world invaluable history lessons. P.S. Look at the Lamborghini photo. It seems that modern "kings" also prefer luxury carriages!)) True, now they are on rubber wheels and with a motor, but the principle is the same: the shine should dazzle!

It's a wonderful place, I was wildly delighted, I would love to spend more time in the park walking in the fresh air. There are many exhibits and paintings in the palace itself that I have seen in school textbooks, emotions of joy are difficult to express in words. I got to know many French leaders by sight, without reading the signatures under the sculptures. Soviet cinema was very careful in selecting actors based on Dumas' novels. BUT Versailles is definitely losing to our Tsarskoye Selo and Peterhof, both individually and collectively. The only thing that is much better is the climatic conditions)))
