Travel Tuesday.....Palace of Versailles

A few highlights of the Palace….

Something I found interesting.....Marie Antoinette's husband, Louis XVI ,  had a bedroom right behind hers. When he felt like it, he could come an visit her through a door located in a wall. The door completely blended into the wall.

I’m sorry the photo above did not come out clear, but it has a story behind it. In the painting Marie Antoinette & her children are shown sitting near an empty crib. We were just told the reason by our tour guide it was to remember the child she had lost. There was a small ray of light streaming in the room at that time. When I got home & printed the photo I notice the reflection of light only appeared over the empty crib.  Very interesting. But for some reason it gave me a warm feeling :)

View from the bedroom

The gardens go on forever. The statues and fountains are amazing. But here's a tip. Want to see the fountains actually displaying with water? Check the schedule first.

They only run them certain days

 & at specific times :)
