Chateau de Versailles





Today's scans come from a long weekend trip to Paris back in 1986. Among the things I did that weekend was to visit and tour Versailles. Versailles was the seat of power in France starting in 1682 when King Louis XIV moved here from Paris. And it lasted for a little more than 100 years. Read the real history here. Among my pictures are the front gates of the palace, the Louis the XIV statue and the Gardens of Versailles. Those not posted include some on the artwork and rooms inside.
