Tour the Palace of Wonder

The Palace of Versailles! What a place of wonder and beauty! Beginning as a hunting lodge, Louis XIII needed to get away to a 15000 square meter paradise. The palace is surrounded by glorious gardens and fountains as well as wonderous rooms which lie within. Within is the historical wall of mirrors which is decorated with dozens of chandeleirs. Outside, 36000 acres of land was cleared to make room for the tree line terraces and plants. The palace as well has 2000 windows, 700 rooms, 1250 fireplaces, and 67 staircases. As well, the dozens of fountains which decorate the outside lands of the palace add much more extravagence. Many of the fountains are made from bronze which glissen in the light. The king and queen also had their own rooms with their own beds. This was because sleeping together wasnt necessary unless needed for pro-creation. On the walls, there are dozens of paintings, done by hand, which add charm and beauty to the palace. Parts of the palaces walls are covered in oustanding art which gives any visitor a site like no other. What was meant to be a hunting lodge turned into a historical home which not even one king could occupy on his own. Much of the money at the time was going into the developement of the masterpiece which is now known as The Palace of Versailles.
