France Paris Versailles

The first time I got to know Versailles was in my childhood time when I read the Japanese mange titled “ Berussaiyu no Bara or Rose of Versailles” from the author Riyoko Ikeda. I straightly fell in love with this place and admire it so much. I’m so excited to talk about and share information about this place with you. Well, first what the most popular from this place is the history of Versailles, the story of the famous and fabulous, Queen Marie Antoinette. In French, it is known as the Château de Versailles. When the château was built, Versailles was a country village; today, however, it is a suburb of Paris. Originally, Versailles was built by Louis XIII, and then continued to Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI. But when it comes to the advent of Napoléon and the First Empire, the status of Versailles changed. Paintings and art work that had previously been assigned to Muséum national and the Museé special de l’École française were systematically dispersed to other location and eventually the museum was closed. In accordance to provisions of the 1804 Constitution, Versailles was designated as an imperial palace for the department of the Seine-et-Oise. As you can see, the beauty of this palace still exists until today and amazed me a lot.
