Today the 1300-room palace serves as a museum.
Impressive gardens embellish the Palace of Versailles in France; the palace, a national museum since 1837, was built in the 17th-century as a royal residence for Louis XIV. French landscape architect André Le Nôtre designed the gardens between 1662 and 1669 in a geometric configuration. The garden, laid out along broad avenues, includes topiaries, sculptures, terraces, canals, and fountains.
I've shoot the photo trying to make it more symetric and centered as possible. Then cropped the top and bottom to make a panoramic view. Click photo to see large and detailed version. |
