Chateau de Versailles located outside of Paris town, we took metro RER C from Paris. The journey is about 40min. This was the palace of France's King once a while. The statue was King Loius XIV.The first sight i saw this Chateau, i was just " waa....so gold..." The gate was gold in color and its tall.
Then you will feel " 须不须要哦 " Its like purposely wanted to show off how rich the owner were. How grand the Chateau was. So that you will felt yourself was too small compare with it and walked in with revere.
Maybe this was call 下马威 ??
One of the famous thing about this chateau is the garden. The garden was very very extremely huge.
This was the pioneer of garden landscaping. Since it was build, the design had been copied by many others garden in France and Europe.
I don't date to walk in as i feared i will get lost. This looked like one of the scene in Harry Potter movie.
Another pool with horse statue.
A group of students doing their drawing of the building. I so envy them as they can had a chance to learn in this kind of way. They were already stay in the living history. With all those old buildings, famous painting, history artifact... I really envy them.
The entrance to garden was free, however you will need to pay if you wanted to visited the Chateau.
We didn't go in , one of the reason was to save money, another reason was we would like to save the time for other place.
On the way walked back to metro station, we saw some ceremony.
Not sure what was this ceremony for but the guy who had ribbon tied on his waist was really look like a typical French guy. This was one of the benefits for backpacking. You can stop wherever and whenever you wanted.
