@@MauricioRomanov , many of your “facts” ( especially the names) are mixed up. @DiamondCalibre, by “falling apart”, what do you mean? Louis XIV and Marie Thérèse had a normal royal marriage: arranged for the procreation of heirs and alliance of two countries.

Still, she never did anything to cause scandal, she was treated well and with great respect, and Louis never flaunted his mistresses in front of her. Likewise, she never demanded he give up his mistresses or gave him a bad attitude.
When I visited, it took my breath away of its beauty but of its enormity as well. Felt overwhelmed instantly that I don't remember what exactly I saw but I know just a small portion of it as the dark sky was enveloping and I was hungry. What a palace!
@@NapoleonBonaparte5 Fun trivia 2: The treaty of versailles that ended WWI was signed in the same hall, with Germany in the losing side. Guess France was: "So you like this hall huh? Let me give you a visit again"
I like how everyone added something to the palace as centuries went by. Every kind of artist added their own type of art in making of the Palace as we know today
The palace could and still can host up to 10.000 people, can you imagine ? And don't forget about 800 hectares of park and gardens. I used to live in this beautiful city ❤
It's the epitome of royalty and grandeur. One of the finest palaces of the world. It's sad how the Louis XVI and his family were taken away, never to return.
Yes, the Grand Trianon was built for Louis XIV as a retreat. But the Petit Trianon was built for his grandson Louis XV and will later be used exclusively by Queen Marie-Antoinette, wife of Louis XVI. On the grounds of Versailles Park, she had a hamlet built just near the Petit Trianon, called the Queen's Hamlet, a small rustic farm built like a Normandy farm and mainly designed for the royal children to get acquainted with farm animals. It has also a pond. The hamlet has been recently entirely restored. Vegetables are still cultivated on the property and given to charity soup kitchens. Worth seeing too.
Solena Chlt France and Versailles are awesome. In my country (Spain), we have a similar style palace in Madrid ("Palacio Real") because ours monarchs are French origin (Borbons)
Lol, proud of slaving the world? This was built on Afrcia's back like most of Paris as well. shame you can't get rid fo your problems and your country is in a mess. I don't even find this palace pretty, bit ugly dump built by greedy monachs.
Shaque Brazil when I say that I am proud of the history of my country, I do not speak of slavery or the Vichy regime. Obviously, no country is perfect but I want to say that France has a very rich and interesting culture. As for the Palace of Versailles, you can think what you want, but if you never see it in real life, I doubt that you can talk about like that. In France, we have problems like everywhere in the world, but unlike some countries, we are not so much in the shit. And if you speak with so much interest for my country, you can come and check by yourself.
Wait, what’s your problem? I don’t have anything against France. You know what? The church in my city was completed in 1370. That’s way before the founding of the US and the construction of Versailles. So many things are more ancient than Versailles, which I’ve even visited last year... Why do you call people assholes like that, I’ll never know
If you're planning to visit France and see some history, spare yourself the dreadful never-ending tourist queue that is the visit of the chateau de Versailles, ang go visit the castels on the Loire river.
Having been through Versailles and many of the Chateaux of the Loire, I have to agree. Versailles is crowded, noisy and very much like a series of stage sets - which I suppose it was, really. The gardens were much more interesting and enjoyable, and they and the Trianons make a great day out. If you can't get too far out of Paris and the Loire Valley is out of range, I'd also suggest Vaux le Vicomte, where you get a real Versailles feel (for reasons I won't bore you with here), or Chantilly.
My favorite palace built by my most favorite Absolute Monarch, Louis The Great! I have learned so many interesting things about his court and the country, and the ways of its people lately and I have to say, that if I could go back in any time, and be with any one from that time, I'd go back to 1660's with louis ruling and building Versailles!
Versailles castle park is bigger than Manhattan ... The gardens at Versailles has 55 historic fountains, of which up to 32 currently plays during the musical fountains show. Louis the XIV had to pump the water mechanically. ... The king of Denmark observed, in what was probably an understatement, that the water pumped to the fountains cost as much as wine. Water for Versailles was taken from the Seine, raised, and distributed by high stone aqueducts and pipes
It' bizarre how they can make such a palace with such intricacy when they had no computers and no advanced machines , while modern day houses are literally just pieces of squares.
And you wonder why the French people were pissed off. You built this grand palace, adding additions upon additions, all the while the people are starving.
J Lord Yeah the king was very unpopular but I think is wrong to say that the nobles caused the revolution it was a burgher revolution and you can see that since the rights granted afterward were all about freedoms and imply a passive posture from the state rather than an active one no to mention it was the third estate the one that started the revolt
J Lord that’s very through and the fact that they were not taxed and used their power to remain that certainly contributed to the flames but to say that they used their power to cause the whole thing is incorrect, and certainly the cost of the wars waged by his predecessors needs to be factor in
J Lord yeah well I think for the revolution to happen you need such a weak king and indeed there was a very weak one I don’t think he was evil per se but rather very incompetent and unpopular not to mention the rumors that his wife was the one in charge

I am not sure that it was not the same in Spain, in Italy, Austria or England, actually. But it is true that, if the king wanted to have an intercourse withe queen, he had to go to the queen's bedchamber and ask for it (there is a tiny private corridor leading from the king's bedroom to the hers)

French revolution=democracy ruines everything
Awesome such a beautiful place thanks for sharing Madeline
yall clown actin like you didn't utilize the bathroom as an opera house
SUPER !!!!!! MAGNIQUE .....bravo ...
who are the two architects given credit for the look of palace of versailles
And thus, the apartment block was invented...
The apartment block dates back to the Romans and even civilisations before them.
Есть еще куда стремиться, володья😀😀💥
BEAUTIFUL FRENCH CULTURE. THEIR ARCHITECTURE IS THE BEST. BUT IT IS EASY TO SEE HOW SUCH EXTRAVAGANCE CAUSED A REVOLUTION.
I’m not a huge fan of architecture but this place is beautiful
Superbe vision architecturale de l'évolution du château !
What is the music on the background?
I love❤ France 🇫🇷 Paris Versailles thank you❤😊!
@0:18 I'm sorry, did it begin in 1629 or 1624? I'm confused.
1624
Mitra E. “It all began in 1629” *subtitle says 1624*
When you're six years old and you play rtcw mp and it's the chateau map. That's why I like these.
Versailles castle is the most expensive house in the World : 50 billions dollars. Plus the huge cost to preserve it. (One million a month).
Even Jeff Bezos could 'nt afford it.
Jeff bezos can build 5 like this chateau

Juste pour refaire la toiture de Notre Dame.
Acheter le parc plus construire un château comme Versailles reviendrait à 300 milliards.
The smell of Versailles at its peak is beyond anything we could possibly imagine.
It's beautiful, isn't it? obviously, it's French!
Palace of Versailles is kinda like where the treaty of Versailles took place or where the treaty was created
That's all very lovely, but I'll stick with my 1100 square foot house. Thanks.
amazing job, spectacular results, bravo!
It is amazing, but still not worth losing your head over.
Amazing, loved this!
back when France was amazing and impressive
I've been in there. It's even more amazing than the video.
Always copied after it around the whole world but never equaled.
indeed
Very very very good video, and very informative. Thank you!
no it is the castle in Super Mario 64 which looks like Versailles !! ^^
Separate apartments for the king and queen is so French.
I am not sure that it was not the same in Spain, in Italy, Austria or England, actually. But it is true that, if the king wanted to have an intercourse withe queen, he had to go to the queen's bedchamber and ask for it (there is a tiny private corridor leading from the king's bedroom to the hers)
Кто здесь после расследования ФБК?)
