Versailles is one of the world’s most beautiful and fascinating cities. Here, you can go to the Palace of Versailles, one of Europe’s most spectacular and largest royal homes. This palace is famous for its lavish banquets, parties and entertainment. The entire palace is decorated with marble, stone, gold leaf and wood carvings. The first floor of Versailles is the place for main bedrooms and other rooms; while the private rooms of the king and queen overlooked the inner courtyard, known as the Marble Courtyard. You should totally visit the six bedroom suites known as the Grands Apartments in this palace. As with everything else at Versailles – each bedroom is magnificently decorated and each one is named after a painting on the ceilings. You can see the the largest and most ornate fireplace in the entire palace, carved from a single slab of marble. The body of Louis XIV was put on display in the Hercules Salon after his death in 1715. There is also the Hall of Mirrors which is recently restorated in 2006. This hall has 17 great mirrors facing the windows, and measures an impressive 236 feet from end to end.
