Experience the regal beauty of Versailles and feel the inner power created by the sensitive combination of nature and music. A truly relaxing feast of both vision and sound!
The Palace of Versailles outside Paris, France, was built along an eight-mile axis. The palace’s lavish gardens were Louis XIV’s way of asserting his total command over nature, while Marie Antoinette’s Little Hamlet fulfilled the queen’s rustic fantasy of peasant life.
Versailles was the former palace and dream castle of the French ‘Sun King’, Louis the Fourteenth. Magnificent fountains decorate the palace’s huge park that was created by 35,000 workers, a hundred hectares of ingenious garden design with a strict symmetry of wide star-shaped garden paths. Versailles served as the model for several European palaces such as those in Potsdam, Vienna and St. Petersburg.
Versailles was the residence of French monarchs and the cultural heartbeat of Europe for about 100 years — until the Revolution of 1789. Today you can visit parts of the huge palace and wander through acres of manicured gardens sprinkled with fountains and studded with statues.
