15 PALACE OF VERSAILLES

Palace of Versailles 

Geometric Garden at Palace of Versailles 
LOCATION: VERSAILLES, PARIS, FRANCE

The town of Versailles sits about 20 kilometers outside of Paris. The first mention of the town and estate was in 1038, when the name appeared in a charter of the Abbey of Saint-Père de Chartres. By the end of the 

11th century, Versailles was a country village enveloping a castle and the church of Saint-Julien, remaining prosperous until well into the 13th century. After the Hundred Years War, however, only a handful of people lived there.



The Palace of Versailles, is one of the largest and most opulent castles in the world. Boasting around 2,143 windows, 1,252 fireplaces, and 67 staircases, the Castle is one of the most visited attractions in France. As a fine example of 18th century French art, this historic building has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for 30 years.
The castle was the official seat of power until 1789, but has since been seen as the unofficial seat. Also known as the “cradle of liberty” (Berceau-de-la-Liberté) it was here that the people of Paris made their stand against King Louis XV1, forcing the Royal Family to leave behind their life of decadence and move back to the true capital city of Paris.
A trip to France is not complete until you have visited Versailles. Versailles is such a beautiful and grand place. The Palace is incredible in both size and in luxury. The history, artwork, the furnishings and the architecture is magnificent. The grounds with their statues and fountains are unbelievable. The chateau is ornate and the designs and gardens exemplified symmetry and precision. The history of this edifice is well-kept and you can see many of the thrones the kings used at that time.

The name Big Ben is often used to describe the tower, the clock and the bell but the name was first given to the Great Bell. The bell inside the clock tower, which weighs more than 13 tons (13,760 kg). The Clock Tower is 61 meters tall. It is quite probably the most famous sight in all of London. In my opinion, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are quite probably the most magnificent looking buildings in all of London. Big Ben is the heartbeat of London and Westminster Palace is the heart. Visit London must visit Big Ben.
