Speaking of popular tourist destinations in France, this spot is a must-see! We will introduce the Palace of Versailles, which is also registered as a World Heritage Site. ✨ The Palace of Versailles, a symbolic place that has a strong presence in French history, is said to have been built by the Sun King Louis XIV to represent his power and wealth. Since that time, many works of art such as paintings and sculptures have been donated to the palace, and it is said that they have developed French art. 📝 The highlight of the place is the "Hall of Mirrors", decorated with hundreds of mirrors 🪞 and many chandeliers. This room is said to be the largest in the Palace of Versailles. It was very spacious. 💭 Even after hundreds of years, this magnificent space has not lost its brilliance.
