The Palace of Versailles is amazing. To visit the Palace from Paris takes a full day. You have to take the train out of the city, but it is well worth it. In this video we provide a “video tour” of some of the palace and the gardens, but honestly, in 4 minutes we can’t come close to doing it justice.
A few facts about Versailles:
– It was originally a hunting lodge and was expanded into a large palace by Louis XIV
– The grounds cover over 2,000 acres
– The palace itself is over 700,000 square feet
– It has 2,153 windows, 1,200 fireplaces, and 700 rooms
– The hall of mirrors is 239.5 ft long, 40 feet tall, and it has 357 mirrors
Hope you enjoy the video!!
