Palace of Versailles

A side extension.

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 kilometers 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. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime.

Mal regreso para los monarcas franceses fue ese de 1789. Bellísima reproducción del mas célebre palacio y representación del Antiguo Régimen. Me encanta la imagen, June. Muy cordialmente. Eduardo.
