Palace of Versailles - Great Attractions (Versailles, France)

Take a tour of Palace of Versailles in Versailles, France -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.

The Palace of Versailles has become a synonym for luxury, elegance, beauty, and extravagance.

Yet when King Louis XIII first began construction in 1624, Versailles was a mere hunting lodge.

Louis XIV was primarily responsible for transforming the palace into the sumptuous, sprawling estate seen today.

Everything about Versailles is beautiful: the architecture, the interior decoration, and the furnishings.

The gardens and the surrounding grounds are no less beautiful, true to the palace's original purpose.

In the 20th century, the famous treaty ending World War 1 was signed here.

Today, Versailles houses an extensive museum of art that showcases the glories of France.

Additionally, matters of political importance, such as amendments to the French Constitution, take place here.
