The Palace of Versailles is an Opulent Complex and Former Royal Residence Outside of Paris. It Has Held Sway in the Public Imagination for Years Because of Its Architectural Grandeur and Political History, the Palace Represents an Age in French History of Both France's Rise as a Fashion and Power Center as Well as the Dramatic and Bloody Decline of the French Monarchy, the Versailles Palace Which is Located 20 Kilometres Southwest of Paris is Considered One of the Most Ostentatious Architectural Innovations of All Times.
The Palace of Versailles, Was Originally Constructed as a Hunting Lodge in 1624. However, the Construction of the Four Major Buildings Began Only From the Year 1664 Onwards. Prior to the French Revolution Which Began in 1789, the Palace Remained the Dwelling Seat of the Political Power of France for Well Over 100 Years and It Had a Population of More Than 60,000 People, Making It One of the Largest Urban Centers in Europe.
Palace of Versailles is an Excellent Example of the Baroque Style of Architecture, Which Also Developed in the 17th Century. As is Evident in the Structure of Chateau De Versailles,
Baroque is Characterized by Extravagance in Architecture, Literature and Music and Was a Veritable Way of Thinking That Encouraged Artisans to Diversify Decorative Elements Such as Gilding, Stucco Arabesques, Painted Vaults and Trompe-l’oeil, but Despite Its Being Significantly Influenced by the Baroque Genre, the Entirety of the Chateau De Versailles is Particularly Harmonious Thanks to Optical Illusions. The Palace’s Set Up is Very Geometric With Some Distortions That Work Together to Give the Illusion That a Perfect Harmony Exists.
Spread Over a Colossal Floor Area of About 67, 000 Square Metres, There Are Several Sections Within the Palace Area, Some of Which Include:
– the Royal Residences.
– the Hall of Mirrors, an Important Attraction in the Palace.
– Chapel of Versailles – the Chapel is One of the Best Places to Witness the Lushness of French Architecture.
– the Opera Hall
– Museum of the History of Versailles – Founded in the 1800s, This Museum Houses Paintings, Sculptures and Collections Which Familiarize One With the History and Culture of France.
– Gardens of Versailles – Just as Famous as the Palace Itself, These Gardens Which Surround the Palace Are Eminent Examples of French Formal Gardens, Designed by André Le Nôtre, Who Gave the “french Garden” Its Noble Reputation, He Made Versailles His Greatest Masterpiece.
The Landscaping Made Full Use of All the Water Sources and Played With Light and Shade by Creating Shady Spaces (Groves) Alongside Lighter Areas (Parterres).
The Parterres and Principle Alleys Were Punctuated With Statues and Yew Trees Trimmed Into Surprising Forms, Making Versailles Famous for Its Topiary Art.
Today, Versailles is One of the Most-visited Sites in France. Visitors Are Drawn to Its Architectural Grandeur, Stunning Gardens and Its Sense of History.
A Visit to the Palace of Versailles is One of the Best Places to Experience French Culture and Its Rich Architecture.

Architectural Grandeur and Stunning Gardens, well said
Wonderful and luxurious palace. ?❤️?
Beautiful.
Beutiful palace wow wonderful
Great place to visit, not to live.
@GARLIC BREAD PROVIDER That’s a little question that requires a long answer. The diary accounts I mentioned are plentiful if you truly desire an answer for that.
NelsonClick why isn’t it comfortable/pleasant to live at?
So true. I don’t think anyone other than Louis 14th liked staying there. Ever. Beautiful to behold but would rather sleep someplace else. Every diary account I have ever read from people who stayed there never once mentions comfort.
What parts were distorted to create the idea of a perfect harmony ?
Literally everywhere
THIS IS VERY WONDERFUL FOR ME TO VIEW..THANK YOU..??????⭐????
Had the ability to build this, but not make sure Paris wasn’t garbage filled? No wonder he lost his head…
@JoshuaK Actually, a lot of how the palace currently looks was constructed by Louis XV and XVI.
@Hi I guess Reading is a lost art.
@glorymanheretosleep umm Louis XIV didn’t loose his head
@JoshuaK I meant the monarchy in general.
The one who lost his head was Louis XVI. The palace was built by Louis XIV who reigned for 72 years.

@Gökçe Halithan Akbulut they rent an entire part to a private american Compagnie, contract for 20years
Of course it is not. Because it is France’s one of the biggest historical legacies.
I imagine yes because our gov is made of traitors
hi~i like this video so much.if you dont mind,i would like to ask your permission to share this video to the other website in china for the embarrassing reason that Youtube is blocked from accessing in china .Of course,i will give sources of the original website.thank you very much~谢谢你~
When you ‘share’ a YT video you are in effect linking to it from another source. So there is no permission needed. If you do not link it but instead upload it to a separate website it is no problem as long as you play the video in its entirety and identify the creator.
@新斯的明 People share all kinds of videos without really having permission and no one complains, so go on. I doubt someone will make a problem out of it
@Charlie H hhhhhthank you~but the author dont answer me…i dont know if i have the right to share it :{
@新斯的明 nice idea
i am a junior Chinese student，my major is urban planning，so architecture is veay close to my major ，i want other Chinese students to know about this great channel~so they can learn more about architecture~please~
Make it white and gold. Exterior
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
what a stunning palace!
How much? Lol
@Gökçe Halithan Akbulut Some people can afford it. Also, with the number of repairs that’ll need to be done, even $1.5B is a stretch, considering that the estimated price of a fully functioning Buckingham Palace in the middle of London is estimated to be around $2B.
Philip Ehusani Maybe but this one would cost like 5B$.
@Gökçe Halithan Akbulut Lol… At the right price, everything is for sale.
Not for sale, it is an historical legacy it is priceless.
Philip Ehusani probably $2.30
Arabiskees? Trompé leoleol? I appreciate the video but please look up the pronunciation of the words like “arabesques” and “trompe l’oeil”. Beautiful images though!
And Barroke.
Amazing
