May, 2016 - VERSAILLES, FRANCE

Other then the Vatican this is the best example of opulence I have ever seen.  What can be done with virtually unlimited power and wealth. Very beautiful, but ultimately helped contribute to the downfall of the monarchy in France.  Not to be missed.

Gold leaf instead of paint.

Built, in part by the "Sun King".

Palace Chapel.

Ceilings all finished in art.

More decor.

Hall of mirrors.

Neptune gards one of the pools.

Wow!  A world class back yard.

Unfortunately the fountain was not on.
