"Megalomania French Style" a Versailles Travel Page by LarsLous

This is the place french kings used to rule their country. The palace is still standing, and you can visit the greatness, the glory, but also the decadence and the megalomania of a century shortly before the french revolution. When you see Versailles with all it's splendor, pomp and treasures, you can understand that the commons (hungry, dirty and extremely poor) raised, to end the monarchy.
Versailles is a place, you should not miss, I understood the history of french revolution a lot better after having seen the palace of Versailles
