The Palace and park of Versailles are beautiful! The stunning architecture, amazing finishes, paintings, and park design are unique and unrepeatable! If only the fountains were still working)))... they never work, they turn on once a year for verification. The snow-white Versailles ensemble impresses with luxury and elegance. I highly recommend visiting if possible.

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!
