Chateau de Versailles

Today we went to Chateau de Versaille. Chateau de Versaille is a very very famous castle that homed the Louis family. There are lots of famous artworks and pictures on the walls and the celling of the rooms. You can read my sister's blog to find out about how crowded it was in the place, and also a little story about a dog called schnitzel von krumm and Hairy McClarey.

Do you know that that place was first built by Louis XIII (Louis the 13th) as a hunting lodge, then Louis XIV made another wing in the palace and turned it into a castle. Then Louis XV made another wing in the castle and it was completely finished by Louis XVI.

One funny story was about one of the Queens called Marie Antoinette, who lived in the castle escaped through a secret door in her room from rioting crowds that were attacking the castle from the outside The door led straight into the Kings apartments. How funny can it get!

In the Castle there was lots of famous pieces of art like fancy chairs and stuff, and brilliant pictures of the family. And also each room - everything that's in it - had the same colours as the wall and curtains! The gardens of the castle are so big that you probably could fill up a whole maybe million sheep in it and still have loads of spaces.

au revoir
