Versailles

Private swap from jerome

The court of Versailles was the centre of political power in France from 1682, when Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in October 1789. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime. Evolving with the château, the gardens of Versailles represent one of the finest extant examples of French Garden planning.
