GARDENS OF VERSAILLES PALACE









Versailles magnificent huge terraced gardens with their fountains and statues.



Unfortunately the fountains were'nt turned on until after we were inside of the


Palace. Shucks! I love fountains!!













A bit windy up on the hill! It was cooler & prettier out here no wonder the King wanted


to build a Palace out here. Beyond the gardens is 500 acres of forest used for hunting.


And what's pretty exciting now is that we heard right after our return home from France,

that a Temple for our church is to be built close to this area of Versailles!









VERSAILLES-SUN KING'S PALACE














Historic Verailles is the beautiful, restored palace of Louis XIV, the Sun King.
































What started as a modest hunting lodge was expanded into the world's most famous palace,






a model for the future European Palaces.
