Versailles: Les Jardins

Friday, August 23, 2013



"First feelings are always the most natural." -King Louis XIV

Now let's move on to Les Jardins de Versailles, or The Versailles Gardens. The gardens sprawl across 977 acres with a new sight around each corner.   ... More after the jump!




I think that whoever dismembered this statue, knew exactly what they were doing. I also think that they improved it to be honest. He probably wouldn't have nearly as many photos of him in existence if this hadn't been done.

Can you imagine having almost 1000 immaculately landscaped acres to yourself dotted with various statues and fountains? One can only dream, but to the residents of Versailles in the 18th century this was reality. If you haven't already, check out part one of my Versailles Series by clicking below. I delve more into the history of Versailles and share more photographs.
