Versailles is about 500 meters long. It has more than 700 rooms, 2,000 windows,
1,250 fireplaces (another sign of him knowing how to spend wisely), 67 staircases, and more than 1,800 acres of park.
The Treaty of Versailles was also signed...in Versailles (oddly enough)
> the treaty was a peace treaty after world war I signed in 1919
> it gave Germany many military restrictions
> surrendering much of German territory
> and having Germany pay the allies the cost of the war basically, which was around 226 billion marks. but the allies did reduce it quite a bit.
It is likely my favorite french monument. (not much of a fact just an opinion)
Possibly the most well known part of Versailles could be the hall of mirrors,
It is said to have 357 mirrors in it!
Another famous part of Versailles would probably be the gardens (seen in the first picture). For Versailles garden is likely the most famous garden on the planet. Mainly big cause of its immense beauty and tremendous size!
