A Walk Around Château de Versailles, Versailles, France
The Palace of Versailles or Château de Versailles was the principal royal residence of France from 1682, under Louis XIV, until the start of the French Revolution in 1789, under Louis XVI. It is located in the department of Yvelines, in the region of Île-de-France, 12 miles southwest of the centre of Paris.
The palace is now a Monument historique and UNESCO World Heritage site, notable especially for the ceremonial Hall of Mirrors, the jewel-like Royal Opera, and the royal apartments; for the more intimate royal residences, the Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon located within the park; the small rustic Hamlet created for Marie Antoinette; and the vast Gardens of Versailles with fountains, canals, and geometric flower beds and groves, laid out by André le Nôtre. The Palace was stripped of all its furnishings after the French Revolution, but many pieces have been returned and many of the palace rooms have been restored.
In 2017 the Palace of Versailles received 7,700,000 visitors, making it the second-most visited monument in the Île-de-France region, just behind the Louvre and ahead of the Eiffel Tower.
The Palace briefly returned to the world stage in June, 1919, when the Treaty of Versailles, formally ending the First World War, was signed in the Hall of Mirrors. Between 1925 and 1928, the American philanthropist and multi-millionaire John D. Rockefeller gave $2,166,000, the equivalent of about thirty million dollars today, to restore and refurnish the palace.
More work took place after World War II, with the restoration of the Royal Opera of Versailles. The theater was reopened in 1957, in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
In 1978, parts of the Palace were heavily damaged in a bombing committed by Breton terrorists

Versailles vu du ciel
Pour la première fois, un film réalisé à partir de prises de vues aériennes dévoile l’intégralité et l’unité du territoire de la cité royale conçue par Louis XIV et André Le Nôtre.
Vu d’en haut, les liens entre la ville et son château deviennent étroits : de part et d’autre de la chambre du Roi, les perspectives, les avenues et les allées, les bosquets et les places se répondent.
Ces nouveaux aperçus réalisés par la Ville de Versailles mettent en évidence un plan régulier, strictement ordonnancé de manière à laisser entrer la nature et la lumière du soleil, dont les rayons doivent converger vers le château.
Pionnière de la ville-jardin avec un territoire de plus de 50% d’espaces naturels, Versailles a ainsi inspiré l’urbanisme de nombreuses villes dans le monde dont Washington, Karlsruhe et Saint-Pétersbourg.
Le groupe d’électro-pop versaillais Saint Michel signe la bande originale du film avec une version instrumentale inédite de son titre aérien, Bob.

Versailles : le propre et le sale - Toute L'Histoire
Versailles : le propre et le sale - Toute L'Histoire
Le château de Versailles conserve l'image d'un palais sale, rempli d'immondices : des courtisans se soulageant dans les recoins des escaliers, un roi recevant sur sa chaise percée, et où chacun déverse son pot de chambre du haut de ses fenêtres. Pourtant dès la construction du château, Louis XIV a pensé aux commodités plusieurs latrines publiques ont été aménagées ainsi qu'un système hydraulique d'une grande modernité. Mais alors qu'en est-il de cette mauvaise réputation ? Les rois sont-ils aussi sales que le château puant ? Où se nichent les fantasmes et la réalité entre le propre et le sale dans le château du roi Soleil ?

Herve: My name is Herve and I'm giving the Prestige Tour in Versailles. Today we're going to be going behind the scenes.
Here we are in the nave of the Chapel Saint Louis inside the palace and as you see, we get to go in the nave, which is not the case for most people.
I love being a tour guide and specifically on the Prestige Tour, because I get to open the doors that we're not supposed to open.
We are in the bathroom of Marie Antoinette. How come there's a bed in the bathroom? For the reason that in those days, doctors would say that taking a bath would weaken your body, so after taking a bath, you had to lie down.
Now we arrive behind Marie Antoinette's bedroom. So Marie Antoinette fled through here, going from her bedroom to the Salon of the Bull's Eyes, and to the king's bedroom when the palace was attacked.
Louis XV was very well known for having many, many mistresses, but Madame de Pompadour is the main one. She was treated like she was a queen, even though she wasn't, and that's why she was hated.
Here we are in front of the Petit Trianon. The Petit Trianon is Marie Antoinette's estate. Queen Marie Antoinette used to say that when she was at Trianon, she was not the Queen, but she was herself.
This is the hamlet. The idea was to recreate a village of Normandy. It had to look very natural.
Man: We got into the background. That was just amazing. That's what makes it VIP, very special. I would give the tour a 10 out of 5.

Plutôt privilégiés dans leur existence, Emile, Paul et leurs 4 enfants ont renoncé au confort, quitté un travail, mis leur cadre de vie entre parenthèses, pour se mettre au service des autres. Ils ont fait ce pari fou de s’installer pour 3 ans au cœur d’une cité réputée difficile.
Pourquoi ont-ils fait ce choix, qu’est-ce qui les motive ? Un an après leur installation, nous les avons rencontrés aux Mureaux, en région parisienne.
