What To Do In Paris
Paris stimulates the senses, demanding to be seen, heard, touched and smelt. From romance down the Seine to landscapes on bus-sized canvases to the pick-an-ism types in cafes monologuing on the use of garlic or the finer points of Jerry Lewis, Paris is the spirit of all things French.
Gaze rapturously at its breezy boulevards, impressive monuments, and great works of art and magic lights. Savor its gourmet range of cheese, chocolate, wine and seafood. Feel the wind in your face as you rollerblade through Bastille, or a frisson of horror and pleasure atop the Eiffel Tower. Paris is where the eatery was born. Inns would serve only once or twice at set times, but in 1765 a Monsieur Boulanger was the first to present his patrons a list of dishes available throughout the afternoon and evening.
Versailles in Paris is one of the trendiest attractions in France. It is a beautiful place with amazing architecture, beautiful interiors and stunning landscaped gardens. Not surprising, many tourists around the world want to board on a Versailles tour to see for themselves the beauty and grandeur of the famous Versailles palace.
The chateau de Versailles symbolized the great power of the French monarchy. It was built in the year 1624 as a hunting lodge for Louis XIII. Later, it was developed by Louis XIV and became the main palace in Europe. For the development of this project, Louis XIV had engaged architects Louis Le Vau and Jules Hardouin-Mansart, painter Charles Le Brun and landscaper Andre Le Notre. By 1774, after alterations by Louis XV and XVI, it became a majestic and huge place, housing more than 10,000 courtiers and servants.
The Versailles palace possesses a dramatic combination of wonderful paintings, special mirrors, exclusive fabrics and fantastic interiors. The main highlights of the château are the King’s State Bedroom, Queen’s Bedroom, Hall of Mirrors and Chapelle Royale. The main apartments are situated on the first floor of the chateau.
