Versailles - Five Star Tour

The Palace of Versailles or simply Versailles, is a royal château in Versailles, the Île-de-France region of France. In French, it is known as the Château de Versailles.

When the château was built, Versailles was a country village; today, however, it is a suburb of Paris, some twenty kilometres southwest of the French capital.

The court of Versailles was the centre of political power in France from 1682, when Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in October 1789 after the beginning of the French Revolution. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime.

Before the construction of the Palace, there was a small royal hunting lodge. This structure would become the core of the new palace.

One of the most baffling aspects to the study of Versailles is the cost – how much Louis XIV and his successors spent on Versailles. Owing to the nature of the construction of Versailles and the evolution of the role of the palace, construction costs were essentially a private matter. Initially, Versailles was planned to be an occasional residence for Louis XIV and was referred to as the "king's house". Accordingly, much of the early funding for construction came from the king's own purse, funded by revenues received from his appanage as well as revenues from the province of New France (Canada), which, while part of France, was a private possession of the king and therefore exempt from the control of the Parliaments.

"All the children at the magnificent Palace of Versailles always did their own homework, instead of asking others to do it for them".

"Do some research on your own about the beauty of Versaille and perhaps you'll learn something".

"Don't be so lazy, like some of the beautiful people at Versaille, who eventually had their heads cut off for it".

"I have been there and it is truely a beautiful palace with a beautiful garden and beautiful foutains and beautiful statues."
