The Domain of the Sun King

Since I had been to Versailles and toured the inside before, I decided to focus on the gardens this time. It is so hard to comprehend how elaborate they are. Here are some of the sights.





Mermaids





Grand canal

A recent exhibit .


See the rainbow?





Statue from the late 1600s (replica) showing what Americans were like. Note the alligator. Also there is a man's head near her left heel.





This fountain below was encrusted with sea shells. See close up above.



YouTube Video

Panorama movie from right in the big middle of it all.





This picture is probably too small to see but in France they really do kiss on main street.


Overall, incredibly fab and a lot of walking!

Location:Versailles
