  • Versailles – a must see. The enormous Château de Versailles was built in the mid-17th century during the reign of Louis XIV (the Sun King). Among the advantages of Vesailles was its distance from the political intrigues of Paris; out here, it was much easier for the king to contain and keep an eye on his scheming nobles. The plan worked brilliantly, all the more so because court life turned the nobles into sycophantic courtiers who expended most of their energy vying for royal favour.
    This chateau essentially consists of four parts: the main palace building, which is a classical structure with innumerable wings, sumptuous bedchambers and grand halls; the vast 17th century gardens, laid out in the formal French style; and two out-palaces, the late 17th century Grand Trianon and the mid-18th century Petit Trianon.
