More from Versailles



Colonnade grove


Each column in a different marble


One of the reception halls at the Chateau


King Louie XIV lover of extravagance
Main driving force behind development 
Conceived hall of mirrors when first precious mirror developed


Bust in Diana Room


Hall of mirrors, lovely light 




Dining room, King and Queen ate dinner at 10pm with an audience seated on rows of tapestry ottomans


In the Bach, more malachite


Admiring the malachite


The crimson and gold room


Pink and black marble throughout 


The yellow room
