King Louis XIV called himself the Sun King, and upgraded the hunting lodge his father built into probably the biggest palace complex in the world (Sultan of Brunei's palace is pretty large too). Frankly, I was disappointed with the Palace of Versailles because after the French Revolution, most of the beautiful treasures in it were plundered. The palace was full or people and while walking through the halls, we were pushed to move on by those behind us. Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna is much better, it still has its collection of art & furniture intact. The highlight of the palace is renowned 75m (250ft) Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors), where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, signifying the end of World War I. Admission is Euro8 for adults
