VERSAILLES PALACE
with VERSAILLES VISIT

Palace of Versailles is an exceptional witness of French art in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. The architecture incorporates canons of classicism: the symmetry of the plan, the colonnaded facades, inspiration or ancient mythological in the choice of subjects sculpted. Baroque touches bring some rigor to this fantasy classic.
The implementation of this monumental architectural ensemble creates a barrier between the city and the area. According to the wish of Le Nôtre, to preserve its effects, we should not see the city from the gardens and garden guess nothing from the city.
