Navigate around
Versailles' home page and you can find the map of the whole compound. The gardens cover a huge part of the palace compound. The gardens stretched as far as the eye can see, and I am not exaggerating this fact. There is a huge lake in the middle of the garden, shaped as a cross. The king sometimes take a boat ride from one end to the other. Even today, there are boat operators in that lake that provide leisure boat rides.
In the background, the palace building. Countless statues populate the gardens of Versailles. It made me wonder how the garden was kept maintained in those days without cherry pickers and grass cutters. Well, if you have tonnes of French francs, this would not be a problem I guess. The paths in the gardens, contrarily to what I used to thought, were actually fine pebbles, not fine sands.
The building in the background, with the tall windows is where the halls of mirrors are located.
Fountain of Apollo. King of the Gods, the Sun God is again being used to symbolize the King's absolute power.
