Review:
Glinting with gold, the Palace of Versailles draws visitors into its labyrinth of hallways as they tour the grand rooms in which royalty lounged centuries ago. Both the catalyst of a civil war and a museum dedicated "to all the glories of France," Versailles displays five centuries of French history through its arresting architecture, expansive 800 hectares of gardens, and 6,000 pieces of artwork. However, the palace is not the only thing on the estate. After viewing the ornate interior, visitors can wander the period gardens to discover the Estate of Trianon and the royal stables. Each area of the palace has its own unique exhibitions as well as shows that run throughout the year.
