Versailles

Today I went to Versailles and it was amazing. Everything was decked out in gold, but I was disappointed by some of the modern art there, it depreciates everything else. It also seen out of place. for example, the dog, lobster and the green flower all very out of place. yuk. other than that, everything else was wounderful it is one thing to ready about it in textbooks, but being there is so much more than one can travel through the books. You will notice some pictures of inflatable art by Jeff Koons. He is a great artist, but inflatables does not belong in the Varsailles.

The place Versailles, or simply Versailles, is a royal chateau in Versailles, in the Ile-de-France region of France.

In French, it is known as Le Chateau de Versailles. When the chateau was built, Versailles was a country village; today however, it is a suburb of Paris, some twenty kilometers southwest of the French capital. From 1682, when King Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in 1789, the Court of Versailles was the centre of power in Ancien Regime France. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy that Louis XIV espoused.
