B&W conversion of an old scanned photo taken on our trip to UK/Europe in 1994. Palace of Versailles c1664 Wanting to escape the busy life in Paris, and to keep the nobility under his control, Louis XIV built this chateau in which he set up home and installed the government. Louis Le Vau was commissioned to renovate and extend an old hunting lodge, Le Notre created the gardens from swamp land, and Mansart masterminded the hydraulic display of the fountains. www.paris-tourisme.com/places/versailles/ Alphabet site V
