There's something about French architecture that just exudes luxurious and noble aura. Through times it still looks majestic and modern like it was just built yesterday.
Fun fact: When Queen Victoria and Prince Albert made their historic state visit to France in 1855, Napoleon III held a state dinner for them so large it was held in the auditorium of Versailles' opera house! Paintings of the evening survive, they will make your jaw drop!
But the those workmen who built the Versailles palace also got jobs and Francs for livelihood, the architect who was appointed by King Louis XIV also earned in bucks and he indeed did a good job.But most important was that the paintings of so many painters over the years ,like Leonardo da Vinci's " Mona Lisa" Michelangelo, Raphael can be preserved plus the statues of so many Kings of France viz.Louis XIV can be seen by the public, the grandeur of this monument cannot be disregarded even though it was built by the king for his mistress which now the republic of France has turned into a museum.So even though many things of the past can be based on blood, sweat,and tears if they are have helped to bring about renaissance and have a 20 century or 21 century to realise the classicism of the past in comparison of the crudity of the present,and also help the sublimation of mind of men and women of modern times it means no wrong. Because this can be compared to the world famous " Taj Mahal" of India.Which all great Prime ministers or Presidents who come to India visit as well as the public of the world . Even the Pyramids, Macchu - Picchu ,the easter islands statues, also the terra cotta army discovered underground also needed the sweat ,blood, tears of so many chinese labourers, the Ankor cat and Ankor thom temple of Hinduism, the Khajuraho temples,the Buddhists vicars or monasteries of Ajanta and Ellora, th beautiful monasteries in the kingdom of Tibet all required nothing but sweat and tears of those who were not in power today also the three gorges dam the Panama canal, the Aswam dam across the Nile, the Hoover dam.Todays U.S. mighty Manhattan in which the empire state building is, the estewhile two trade towers, Petronas in Malaysia, the huge skyscrapers of Singapore, China, Taiwan, India Bombay, Chicago, are 20th century's examples of tears and sweat and the many tanks, warships, war planes of 21st century's modern empires are also blood ,sweat and tears. The University Campuses built for education like the University at Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire are example of the same work and the Roman roads built for Caesar's cry Vidi, Vini ,Vinci or I came, I saw ,I conquered is also a testimonial to the same sob story. And ultimately Caesar is betrayed by Brutus.
@JC de Frontenac In some way your observation is quite right, but a cause which is involving headaches, such as because the Roman's had spread their empire to very nook and corner they had to face the contants attrition with Gauls and Hannibal crossed Alps with his elephants to be a constant presence of danger.
@JC de Frontenac I meant that if great works are achieved by anyone, for example the Roman's ambition for expansion of their empire then if that ambition remains modest it is understandable, but if it becomes a source of headaches to themselves itself than they become a butt of jokes and hilarious sarcasm as we have seen in the comics of Asterix- Obelixs ( how the Gauls handle the Roman's),Even if we take the example of the so called Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, he carried out Napoleonic wars at a great cost to his own people, even killing his wife Josephine and ended up lonely and mesirable in St.Helena gaurded by a bevy of British soldiers. I think he should have consolidated his empire in France and ruled justly.That was enough.
@@justamoteofdust The funds for the Palace of Versailles actually came from New France (Canada). Not from the taxes of local French people. But the rest or other palace is a different story.
@@justamoteofdust Precisely because their lives were so horrible,slave like:why did they keep popping kiddies? To make them suffer like they did?

Everytime I visit this Palace I learn something different about beauty. As an architect, going to Versailles is the equivalent of a kid going to Disneyland. Excellent video!!!
Yeah, perhaps more architects should go to versailles too, maybe that way they could understand that modern architecture is a sad joke that has no respect whatsoever towards it's surroundings and is decharacterizing cities and consequently countries, that way we could get fewer architects that design boxes for a living...
One of the greatest achievement in human history. generations in the making and maintain, aesthetic, arts and architecture... what an eye opening sights!!
I agree that the video is very well done, and I also agree that there is a lot of artistic, skilled creativity here. However,It might be a masterpiece, but all of that gold that could have should have gone into feeding the people who were starving! This is a matter of horribly misplaced values.And the opulence is way over done.
And to think it looks spectacular more than today architecture speaks volume on why we should preserve culture....what references would we have if it wasn't for those who were wise enough not to destroy everything in that era.
What impresses me the most about these palaces is the amount of time and work spent into building all the details. Imagine what it was like building such pieces of art of this size three centuries ago when today it takes years to renovate just the facades
That fact that this is as old as it is and has lasted centuries and has remained intact (with tremendous upkeep I'm sure) is just astonishing. I wish we could see in every room of the museum and it makes me sad that some rooms are kept locked up.
Le budget de fonctionnement de Versailles est de 100 millions d'euros par an, sans les travaux de rénovation. Par exemple, la Chapelle Royale, que l'on voit dans cette vidéo en rénovation, coûta 16 millions d'euros. Autre exemple, la grille Royale, que l'on voit au tout début, date de 2008 et coûta 5 millions d'euros (l'originale fut détruite à la Révolution).
To see this level achievement with very little technology and equipment. Wow. Think of what these persons would have been able to achieve in this modern era
@@AnkhKnowledgement Shanay Shanay Nay nay nay I have been to both places you can’t even mention fake arse dubai. There is no comparison. None at all.

So many European Monarchs tried to emulate Versailles building ever grander palaces but in the end none succeeded in matching the extraordinary quality of this incredible place. Of course the Royal House of Bourbon that lavished so much of the nation's money on this project paid the ultimate price of bloody revolution though the unfortunate Louis XVl was probably the least extravagant and certainly a more decent person than his predecessor Louis XlV who instigated the enormous undertaking.
Yet, Louis XIV was the one who made France shine and secured the future of France in many ways. While Louis XVI was probably a decent man, he was not a strong King. But History is what it is.
@@KDZX4 Indeed. It was really him. He called the Sun's King (he claimed himself as a God). He has the longest teigne compared to his sons. Sad France has longer his King. The French Monarchy of the Bourbon had ended after the French Revolution 1789.

Minimalism is not supposed to be pretty, it's supposed to be minimalist, precisely lol Function, not beauty of design are its focus.

Besides it's beauty and obvious craftsmanship, I am amazed that King Louis the 14th took literal swamp land and transformed it into this gorgeous work of art.
I'm rather sppechless. Its beautiful. No word does the place true justice. Just amazing to see. Thank you for posting this video. Its the next best thing as opposed to visiting.
Louis XIV indeed had a vision when he had this beautiful palace built. He was called the Sun ☀️ King and he wanted the Hall of Mirrors to bring the sun into his palace in breathtaking glory. Mission accomplished! ❤️❤️❤️
There is no word adequate to totally describe the superb splendor and artistry that was placed deliberately into every square foot of this structure! I am in awe of its exquisiteness.. i have a tapestry on the wall behind my bed that features the ceiling painting at 1:43.. as an watercolorist, i am an avid fan of Baroque and its glorious romance! Thank you!
This tour of the versailles palace is super amazing, i find it very beautiful and magestic how the artworks are shown to preservate history and also how different art currents were evolving trough time, i find the murals very stunning; also the complexitythe architercture has (and how it is even another form of art) also thinking of how old it is (made in XVII century) and even how many people have been there (from the kings living there to the tourist nowadays) i love the gardens, they are so perfectly taken care of. Love this cultural heritage piece.
I’m afraid to remind you that this palace was built by impoverished people working in extremely terrible conditions, many of them starving and suffering painful conditions for the hard labor. This beautiful palace, like most great architectural achievements in Europe, is the result of blood, tears, hunger and human suffering. Nice to visit now as a tourist, hardly something to be proud of in the past
@@luuchoo93 Yes but that’s in the past. I am french and I love to visit the palace. Past is in the past. The bad is done, now let’s focus on the future 😬
@@luuchoo93 I absolutely agree. What I am proud of is beautiful architecture. Europe is a mother of all greatest architectural styles. Truly something to admire to.
The most exquisite Palace of Versailles.Breathtakingly Beautiful.I hope to visit someday.I have loved this palace for most of my life.Seems to be straight out of a fairy tale,almost too beautiful to be real 👑 🏰
the amount of detail is astonishing and the history it holds! One of my absolute favourite chateau's, I could spend hours in there, I cannot wait to go see it for myself one day
Very interesting, it shows you the place in detail and the slow images allow you to appreciate the details. The Palace of Versailles, despite its age, is quite well cared for and kept very clean. The sculptures and portraits inside it make you draw your attention by themselves.
@@mylifemyjourney1 they can easily commission if they want to. But it would be seen as distasteful and out of place to build a mansion like that today (atleast in US). Billionaire like Bill Gates have house more centered around renewable energy and productivity,
Fully agreed. If you were to see how much labor costs are to make a building like this, then Bill Gates could make easily 10 Versailles. But and then? Who is going to live in it? You? You wouldn't even want to live in it even if someone who give it to you. Yes you would gladly receive it to either sell it or make a museum out of it to make money. Nothing else. You wouldn't want to live in there. 99.9% of the people can't live here.
@@Chris-hp9be no one man could ever build something of the same magnitude and quality. It would cost nearly a trillion dollars to rebuild this palace. Imagine the sheer amount of solid gold and leaf in the palace let alone all of the artwork and such
There is an eerie silence at Versailles the grand and petite Trianon and hamlet as though time has stood still . Imagine what Marie Antoinette must have felt leaving it that one last night .
Visiting this palace right before close you get a totally different feel. We were quite literally the last people in it as the close the doors behind us, room after room. Without the crowds is takes on the feeling, to me, of a tomb. And the Versailles we see today is not the glorious version of the age of Louis XIV. Much of that was torn down and remodeled by Louis XV. It is a glorious art object on a massive scale. I would highly recommend, if you are visiting, to take in a performance at the Royal Opera or the Chapel. They are usually after hours and the crowds are far lower. You cannot see the whole palace but you see enough and get an more living experience.
Потрясает невероятная роскошь. Это ведь эпоха барокко. Сколько труда вложено в строительство этого дворца! А ведь это XVII век, никаких современных технологий и материалов ещё не было! Всё это сделано вручную самыми простыми инструментами.
Just to think that there were nobles heads of duchys and the king himself standing in one of the rooms is just mind boggling like this is what they saw back in 1700 we must respect and preserve history of human kind

The virtual tour of the Palace of Versailles is a captivating journey through time and art. The tour beautifully captures the grandeur and elegance of the palace, transporting viewers back to the era of French kings. The detailed imagery allows one to appreciate the intricate art and architecture that the palace is renowned for.

Wow. I love this video i was so hypnotized by the beauty of the palace and gardens are the calming music, i felt like i was going to fall asleep. Versailles palace is truly amazing

@@Oisseau53pero no el más hermoso, Versalles es el lujo construido sobre su mismo, representa todo lo q es bello y opulento, ostentoso, elegante, fino y hermoso y eso nada lo ha podido superar, los demás palacios han sido tipo copias pues de el se inspiraron ❤
Such a beautiful place for such a harsh treaty.
Besides it's beauty and obvious craftsmanship, I am amazed that King Louis the 14th took literal swamp land and transformed it into this gorgeous work of art.
I can honestly say one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited
This is the most beautiful and well- preserved palace I have seen.
I'm rather sppechless. Its beautiful. No word does the place true justice. Just amazing to see. Thank you for posting this video. Its the next best thing as opposed to visiting.
Thank you Brian! I am glad you liked it 🙂
I am lost of words how beautiful this place is absolutely stunning
神駒你好我唔舒服又发高烧睇唔到你的節對不起
神駒你好好休息和保重
The interior is breathtakingly beautiful. ❤❤❤
Louis XIV indeed had a vision when he had this beautiful palace built. He was called the Sun ☀️ King and he wanted the Hall of Mirrors to bring the sun into his palace in breathtaking glory. Mission accomplished! ❤️❤️❤️
My goodness. This palace is just over the top.
Beautiful Luxurious dear Amazing French Royal Palace in the Restaurant
There is no word adequate to totally describe the superb splendor and artistry that was placed deliberately into every square foot of this structure! I am in awe of its exquisiteness.. i have a tapestry on the wall behind my bed that features the ceiling painting at 1:43.. as an watercolorist, i am an avid fan of Baroque and its glorious romance! Thank you!
This tour of the versailles palace is super amazing, i find it very beautiful and magestic how the artworks are shown to preservate history and also how different art currents were evolving trough time, i find the murals very stunning; also the complexitythe architercture has (and how it is even another form of art) also thinking of how old it is (made in XVII century) and even how many people have been there (from the kings living there to the tourist nowadays) i love the gardens, they are so perfectly taken care of. Love this cultural heritage piece.
So beautiful. Im so proud to be European
i'm so proud of being french !
I’m afraid to remind you that this palace was built by impoverished people working in extremely terrible conditions, many of them starving and suffering painful conditions for the hard labor. This beautiful palace, like most great architectural achievements in Europe, is the result of blood, tears, hunger and human suffering. Nice to visit now as a tourist, hardly something to be proud of in the past
@@luuchoo93 Yes but that’s in the past. I am french and I love to visit the palace. Past is in the past. The bad is done, now let’s focus on the future 😬
@@luuchoo93 I absolutely agree. What I am proud of is beautiful architecture. Europe is a mother of all greatest architectural styles. Truly something to admire to.
Peterhof and Tsarskoe Selo are more beautiful!
The most beautiful building in the world.
The most exquisite Palace of Versailles.Breathtakingly Beautiful.I hope to visit someday.I have loved this palace for most of my life.Seems to be straight out of a fairy tale,almost too beautiful to be real 👑 🏰
This is astonishing. A pure gem.
the amount of detail is astonishing and the history it holds! One of my absolute favourite chateau's, I could spend hours in there, I cannot wait to go see it for myself one day
Absolutely beautiful 😍 the music had me spellbound ❤ xxxx
Thank you for watching 😊 have you ever visited Versailles?
Breathtaking
Much respect and admiration for the men and women responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of this stunning historical site.
Most beautiful place I've ever seen.⚔❤⚔
Looks like heaven❤
Greetings from Finland🇫🇮🌱 Thank you for the beautiful video🌺🌺🤝
Thanks to you for watching 😊
Very interesting, it shows you the place in detail and the slow images allow you to appreciate the details. The Palace of Versailles, despite its age, is quite well cared for and kept very clean. The sculptures and portraits inside it make you draw your attention by themselves.
Thank you for watching 😊✌️
People from the 1600s are incredibly talented and smart to design and build this.
So true, we don't see this kind of design or architecture anymore, even the millionaires don't have homes like this.
@@mylifemyjourney1 they can easily commission if they want to. But it would be seen as distasteful and out of place to build a mansion like that today (atleast in US). Billionaire like Bill Gates have house more centered around renewable energy and productivity,
@@Chris-hp9be ....I agree, technology & the economy has shifted us somewhere else.
Fully agreed. If you were to see how much labor costs are to make a building like this, then Bill Gates could make easily 10 Versailles. But and then? Who is going to live in it? You? You wouldn't even want to live in it even if someone who give it to you. Yes you would gladly receive it to either sell it or make a museum out of it to make money. Nothing else. You wouldn't want to live in there. 99.9% of the people can't live here.
@@Chris-hp9be no one man could ever build something of the same magnitude and quality. It would cost nearly a trillion dollars to rebuild this palace. Imagine the sheer amount of solid gold and leaf in the palace let alone all of the artwork and such
We did a the full guided tour three weeks ago, took a full day , nothing like it, magnificent.
Thanks King Louis for building this amazing palace!
I’m speechless! No right amount of words can fully describe how amazing this place is.
There is an eerie silence at Versailles the grand and petite Trianon and hamlet as though time has stood still . Imagine what Marie Antoinette must have felt leaving it that one last night .
it's incredible to think that the greatest king of Europe and probably the world walked in these corridors, these rooms and these gardens....
félicitations au cameraman délicatement bien filmé des images de haute qualité ..de loin le meilleur doc que j ai vu sur versailles..bravo et merci
Merci pour les compliments, très gentils! 🙂
We don’t build like they used to. Easily one of the most architecturally beautiful places on earth
Yes, we build ugly cement cubes and call it modern architecture
do you fucking know how many billions would this cost now?
Just imagine walking through those halls and garden and be mesmerized by it .
Visiting this palace right before close you get a totally different feel. We were quite literally the last people in it as the close the doors behind us, room after room. Without the crowds is takes on the feeling, to me, of a tomb. And the Versailles we see today is not the glorious version of the age of Louis XIV. Much of that was torn down and remodeled by Louis XV. It is a glorious art object on a massive scale. I would highly recommend, if you are visiting, to take in a performance at the Royal Opera or the Chapel. They are usually after hours and the crowds are far lower. You cannot see the whole palace but you see enough and get an more living experience.
Потрясает невероятная роскошь. Это ведь эпоха барокко. Сколько труда вложено в строительство этого дворца! А ведь это XVII век, никаких современных технологий и материалов ещё не было! Всё это сделано вручную самыми простыми инструментами.
Just to think that there were nobles heads of duchys and the king himself standing in one of the rooms is just mind boggling like this is what they saw back in 1700 we must respect and preserve history of human kind
My obsession. Everything about Louis and his reign. Thanks!
Its so dreamy.
God I miss this place last month it was my first time going to Paris and. This was my favorite place
Absolute amazing place ❤
What a Magnificent Palace
This video is beautiful. My fiancé and I visit France every year, but due to COVID we cancelled this year’s plan. We’ve felt so nostalgic these last couple of days, and definitely your videos have made us feel back in our beloved France ❤️.
Thank you Adriana, I am happy you liked the videos. Hopefully we will start travelling again soon 🙂
@@TravelHDefinition i wanna go to paris and france my school debut is theme like this n im the muse.. this is actually my dream to go in europe
Was blessed to be able to experience this place 13 years ago. Absolutely breathtaking! Especially the gardens. Definitely should be on your bucket list.
_imagine LIVING here. Oh my god._
You mean, "Mon Dieu!"
Wow , the detail in this Palace is nothing short of absolutely stunning! Amazing job
Beyond beautiful... this was such an amazing video. Probably the best I have seen, it felt like a virtual tour. I have always wanted to go some day, thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Thank you Lyssa, very kind 🙂
Truly awesome. Thank you
Thanks for taking me virtually to Versailles 😍
You are welcome! Thank you for watching 🙂
Easily one of the most beautiful places ❤️👍 Georgian and baroque style architecture makes me weak!! 💕
Stepping a foot in this palace must feel magnificent
Vive la France.. RESPECT EVER
Je me souviens quand il y est allé pour la première fois, c'était tellement merveilleux, j'ai été émerveillé par son luxe et la beauté de l'architecture française
The virtual tour of the Palace of Versailles is a captivating journey through time and art. The tour beautifully captures the grandeur and elegance of the palace, transporting viewers back to the era of French kings. The detailed imagery allows one to appreciate the intricate art and architecture that the palace is renowned for. It’s fascinating to see the evolution of the palace from a simple hunting lodge to a symbol of absolute monarchy. This tour is a must for history and art enthusiasts alike
У меня злёзы от такой величественной красоты,от такого великолепия.Какие были мастера.
Nothing could ever be made with this much detail and craftsmanship ever again. No one has the money or resources to do so.
Wow. I love this video i was so hypnotized by the beauty of the palace and gardens are the calming music, i felt like i was going to fall asleep. Versailles palace is truly amazing
Thank you, I am happy you liked it ✌🏼😊
The ultimate symbol of opulence, luxury, grandeur, in an architectural form. The pride of western architecture.
Блестяще❤! Неповторимый стиль и уникальность! ❤ Красотища! ❤ Роскошь! Из России с приветом!
It just boggles my mind that centuries ago that there was such artistry and people that could paint and design such palaces as these. Just breathtaking.
ШЕДЕВР, красота, великолепный дворец, восхитительно!
J'adore CHÂTEAU VERSAILLES PARIS. Conte de fées et impressionnant. Encore et encore, je visite le château de Versailles
