It’s a breathtaking place, I spent whole day from morning until afternoon to explore every corner here. It’s really worth to visit. Must come when you are in Paris
When I went there during the summer vacation, some places were under construction. If time permits, I still recommend going to visit and make some comparisons between China and the West. However, there are few places to buy food and drinks, and the toilet is not convenient.

The moment you step into the garden of Versailles, you feel like you are in the golden dream of the Sun King. The hedges trimmed into geometric patterns are oily in the sun, and the golden chariots of the Apollo statue in the fountain pool seem to break out of the water. I walked barefoot across the lawn to the night music fountain show, the water column danced with the baroque movement, and the moonlight plated the silver edge of the Latona fountain. The most shocking thing is to stand at the end of the Grand Canal and look back at the palace, 300 years ago, the extreme luxury and human artistic ambition, spread out into a living oil painting in the sunset.
放几张凡尔赛宫后花园的照片，花园真的特别特别大，要走断腿那种，可以租车或者自行车，也有小火车，单程5欧左右，来回8.5欧的样子。也可划船

The most famous attraction in Palace of Versailles. The hall is made by more than 300 mirrors, and the rooftop have various beautiful paintings.
The Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, also known as the Gallery of Mirrors, is regarded as a "treasure of the palace" in the palace of King Louis XIV of France. It is named after the 17 floor-to-ceiling mirrors composed of 483 lenses. It is the most luxurious and glorious part of the Palace of Versailles in France. The hall is 76 meters long, 10 meters wide and 13 meters high. The walls of the Hall of Mirrors are inlaid with 17 huge mirrors composed of 483 lenses, reflecting the magnificent dome murals. The 17 arched floor-to-ceiling windows with excellent views relative to the mirrors allow you to have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the back garden of the Palace of Versailles. The Hall of Mirrors has always been hailed as a treasure of the French royal family. Countless huge bronze mirrors reflect the light from the back garden. This is the palace used exclusively by the Louis Dynasty when receiving envoys from various countries.

The Gardens of Versailles (Jardins du château de Versailles) occupy a large part of the Domaine Royal de Versailles. The gardens are located to the west of the palace and cover an area of approximately 800 hectares, most of which are arranged in the classic French formal garden style. The Grand Canal is the masterpiece at the center of the Versailles Gardens.
Versailles is well-known, and has even produced peripheral works, such as the "Versailles style".
As a model of palaces, the Palace of Versailles is an unparalleled example of luxury. Even people who have never been there know something about it. But not many people know about the Grand Canal. Although it is not particularly large and certainly cannot be compared with the real Grand Canal in China, it is still very beautiful.
