This is Beautiful Art and Beautiful Architecture. It's also beautiful outside. 😍 Thank you very much for this video. 💐 Greetings from Poland. 🙂

Thanks a lot Hanna 🙂

😍🥰😘☺️😌😗

Palace of Versailles is way more than the Buckingham Palace. Not only that, it had also a mindblowing garden

Hampton Court is spectacular...

So true haha

Bahaha love the analogy! 😂

@@BucketListTravellers or like those little houses that you have for the 'servants' in the estate

Their ideologies differ the versailles was built under an autocratic absolute monarchs of France while Buckingham was built in permission of Parliament Versailes was by definition a divine right building and Buckingham is built under the consent of the governed

Obviously one government produce better things than the other...

New money have no taste of noble :)

If I had the money I would make a much better castle .

That's true...but no matter, money is important cos it keeps this palace running as one of the best tourist spots in the world.

Fun fact: When Queen Victoria and Prince Albert made their historic state visit to France in 1855, Napoleon III held a state dinner for them so large it was held in the auditorium of Versailles' opera house! Paintings of the evening survive, they will make your jaw drop!

You need 20 billions Euro to even start to dream of building something like Versailles.

It is indeed ✌

Everyone is important

@@jokubass4718 Famous people aren't gods dude lol They're only important cause they have more money.

@@jokubass4718 Not all of them but alot of them are, hollywood celebs and alot politicians i would say aren't important. but they are shoved down our throats as important.

I told myself that I was gazing into the same mirror that once held the reflection of Marie Antoinette.

Thank you Mario! 🙂

Yeah, perhaps more architects should go to versailles too, maybe that way they could understand that modern architecture is a sad joke that has no respect whatsoever towards it's surroundings and is decharacterizing cities and consequently countries, that way we could get fewer architects that design boxes for a living...

That’s exactly the way to describe it

French have taste, exquisite taste....

Noblesse. Exactly what we lack today.

with 200 years of african blood and sweat....

@@idkwhy2395 absolutely no link get out supremacist with your cultural appropriation

But the those workmen who built the Versailles palace also got jobs and Francs for livelihood, the architect who was appointed by King Louis XIV also earned in bucks and he indeed did a good job.But most important was that the paintings of so many painters over the years ,like Leonardo da Vinci's " Mona Lisa" Michelangelo, Raphael can be preserved plus the statues of so many Kings of France viz.Louis XIV can be seen by the public, the grandeur of this monument cannot be disregarded even though it was built by the king for his mistress which now the republic of France has turned into a museum.So even though many things of the past can be based on blood, sweat,and tears if they are have helped to bring about renaissance and have a 20 century or 21 century to realise the classicism of the past in comparison of the crudity of the present,and also help the sublimation of mind of men and women of modern times it means no wrong. Because this can be compared to the world famous " Taj Mahal" of India.Which all great Prime ministers or Presidents who come to India visit as well as the public of the world . Even the Pyramids, Macchu - Picchu ,the easter islands statues, also the terra cotta army discovered underground also needed the sweat ,blood, tears of so many chinese labourers, the Ankor cat and Ankor thom temple of Hinduism, the Khajuraho temples,the Buddhists vicars or monasteries of Ajanta and Ellora, th beautiful monasteries in the kingdom of Tibet all required nothing but sweat and tears of those who were not in power today also the three gorges dam the Panama canal, the Aswam dam across the Nile, the Hoover dam.Todays U.S. mighty Manhattan in which the empire state building is, the estewhile two trade towers, Petronas in Malaysia, the huge skyscrapers of Singapore, China, Taiwan, India Bombay, Chicago, are 20th century's examples of tears and sweat and the many tanks, warships, war planes of 21st century's modern empires are also blood ,sweat and tears. The University Campuses built for education like the University at Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire are example of the same work and the Roman roads built for Caesar's cry Vidi, Vini ,Vinci or I came, I saw ,I conquered is also a testimonial to the same sob story. And ultimately Caesar is betrayed by Brutus.

@JC de Frontenac In some way your observation is quite right, but a cause which is involving headaches, such as because the Roman's had spread their empire to very nook and corner they had to face the contants attrition with Gauls and Hannibal crossed Alps with his elephants to be a constant presence of danger.

@JC de Frontenac I meant that if great works are achieved by anyone, for example the Roman's ambition for expansion of their empire then if that ambition remains modest it is understandable, but if it becomes a source of headaches to themselves itself than they become a butt of jokes and hilarious sarcasm as we have seen in the comics of Asterix- Obelixs ( how the Gauls handle the Roman's),Even if we take the example of the so called Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, he carried out Napoleonic wars at a great cost to his own people, even killing his wife Josephine and ended up lonely and mesirable in St.Helena gaurded by a bevy of British soldiers. I think he should have consolidated his empire in France and ruled justly.That was enough.

@@justamoteofdust The funds for the Palace of Versailles actually came from New France (Canada). Not from the taxes of local French people. But the rest or other palace is a different story.

@@justamoteofdust Precisely because their lives were so horrible,slave like:why did they keep popping kiddies? To make them suffer like they did? It is not the rich´s people fault that there are pooor people in need of jobs. STOP popping kiddies if you can not even offer them clean water, let alone a future. Some poor people have them to seel them for horrendous crimes:sex slavery,work slavery etc.SPARE those kiddies!

You should Reshie! It deserves a visit 🙂

Me too! Covid cramping our style 😭

i went there and it was beautiful! i only went outside though but it was still amazing

I was in the palace twice in my life. The video is better. There are unimaginable crowds when you're there in person.

Repent of your sins and follow Jesus Christ Almighty

You honourable user, experiencing the royalty and courtesy of Imperialism in its absolute beauty.

Indeed. Way more Beautiful than the Buckingham Palace

@Yvan V no

Masterpiece indeed

I agree that the video is very well done, and I also agree that there is a lot of artistic, skilled creativity here. However,It might be a masterpiece, but all of that gold that could have should have gone into feeding the people who were starving! This is a matter of horribly misplaced values.And the opulence is way over done.

@@1002suns you think people had empathy at that time?

@@1002suns Empathy wasn’t invented yet hun

And to think it looks spectacular more than today architecture speaks volume on why we should preserve culture....what references would we have if it wasn't for those who were wise enough not to destroy everything in that era.

@@1002suns Are you serious?

they added some rooms in glory to Napoleon and his generals

Yes! Would be on Dubai levels, with palaces in the clouds 📍💫

@@AnkhKnowledgement Shanay Shanay Nay nay nay I have been to both places you can’t even mention fake arse dubai. There is no comparison. None at all. The almost totally ruined Notre Dame has more style and class than fake arse dubai. ( The use of fake arse is due to the fact that you could get arrested for saying that in dubai, that is the epitome of “arsehole behaviour”)

We are these people and we have achieved wonders. Unfortunately we have also gone astray.

Yess.. they have so many slaves / poor people /cheap labor willing to die for them, to build that places. Or so many subject they put tax on.

@@violetblue1251 Slavery was already abolished, poor people? Duh, of course. The poor admired him actually

so no trees?

@@nidhi.mp4 a lonely plant in a quirky mason jar? No. A wild garden? Hell yes And nature is nature. We're talking about man made art- minimalism vs extravagant maximalism

@@tanvikhare9710 Most of the gardens are minimalist IMO as well, theres nothing maximalist about statues in a garden or hedges.

@@caligulalonghbottom2629 There’s literal golden turtles

Minimalism is not supposed to be pretty, it's supposed to be minimalist, precisely lol Function, not beauty of design are its focus. So having said that, yes Versailles and the Baroque style, in general, are indeed (by nature of its exaggerated motion and clear detail used to produce drama, exuberance, and grandeur) the clear antithesis of minimalism, I guess. But then again, I don't even see how or why anyone would feel the need to compare one with the other, since both are indeed in opposite spectrums. It's like comparing the incomparable. The words unnecessary and obvious come to mind.

Le budget de fonctionnement de Versailles est de 100 millions d'euros par an, sans les travaux de rénovation. Par exemple, la Chapelle Royale, que l'on voit dans cette vidéo en rénovation, coûta 16 millions d'euros. Autre exemple, la grille Royale, que l'on voit au tout début, date de 2008 et coûta 5 millions d'euros (l'originale fut détruite à la Révolution).

Thanks a lot for your kind message! This is exactly the purpose of this channel 😊 thanks for watching ✌️

Yet, Louis XIV was the one who made France shine and secured the future of France in many ways. While Louis XVI was probably a decent man, he was not a strong King. But History is what it is.

@@KDZX4 Indeed. It was really him. He called the Sun's King (he claimed himself as a God). He has the longest teigne compared to his sons. Sad France has longer his King. The French Monarchy of the Bourbon had ended after the French Revolution 1789.

@@christophermichaelclarence6003 Maybe that one day he will come back... soon

@@samsara450 That would be awesome. But the problem is, there was a Contistution that had been established saying that the French Kings are banished forerver

@@christophermichaelclarence6003 A Constitution is just a paper. A King is a Man. Did you trust a piece of paper more than a Man ? However, the banishment has been repeal since a long time now, and the heir of the old dynasty: Jean d'Orléans, was born and live in France. But he is not really motivated by political bussineses, because he think that it's not his role to take part (you know, like a King, he try to stay neutral). Maybe it's time for France to know an another dynasty, a new one...

All french history is there

So sad, to me the garden is the most beautiful part of Versaille...

@@spikulu3229 I know that was the part I wanted to see but it was so cold and rained so heavy just bad luck! I will go back again the in late summer though!!

you have to come back for the gardens :D. So huge and amazing

Y a là cité interdite qui est 7 fois plus grande que Versailles à Pékin Et le palais d'été en Chine également détruit par les Anglais pendant la guerre de L'opium. C'est le plus grand palais jamais construit.

Versailles is the largest if you include the grounds, not just the structures. The Summer Palace was not destroyed during the Opium Wars by the English. It was damaged during the Boxer rebellion by the eight nation alliance but restored 2 years later and of course is still standing. Beautiful, and mostly landscape and water. @@samlpg3087

So true, we don't see this kind of design or architecture anymore, even the millionaires don't have homes like this.

@@mylifemyjourney1 they can easily commission if they want to. But it would be seen as distasteful and out of place to build a mansion like that today (atleast in US). Billionaire like Bill Gates have house more centered around renewable energy and productivity,

@@Chris-hp9be ....I agree, technology & the economy has shifted us somewhere else.

Fully agreed. If you were to see how much labor costs are to make a building like this, then Bill Gates could make easily 10 Versailles. But and then? Who is going to live in it? You? You wouldn't even want to live in it even if someone who give it to you. Yes you would gladly receive it to either sell it or make a museum out of it to make money. Nothing else. You wouldn't want to live in there. 99.9% of the people can't live here.

@@Chris-hp9be no one man could ever build something of the same magnitude and quality. It would cost nearly a trillion dollars to rebuild this palace. Imagine the sheer amount of solid gold and leaf in the palace let alone all of the artwork and such

There is and its called Dolmabahçe Palace. I personally think it looks better than Versailles Palace.

@@misykatrahman9106 no

Thank you Brian! I am glad you liked it 🙂

神駒你好我唔舒服又发高烧睇唔到你的節對不起

神駒你好好休息和保重

i'm so proud of being french !

I’m afraid to remind you that this palace was built by impoverished people working in extremely terrible conditions, many of them starving and suffering painful conditions for the hard labor. This beautiful palace, like most great architectural achievements in Europe, is the result of blood, tears, hunger and human suffering. Nice to visit now as a tourist, hardly something to be proud of in the past

@@luuchoo93 Yes but that’s in the past. I am french and I love to visit the palace. Past is in the past. The bad is done, now let’s focus on the future 😬

@@luuchoo93 I absolutely agree. What I am proud of is beautiful architecture. Europe is a mother of all greatest architectural styles. Truly something to admire to.

Peterhof and Tsarskoe Selo are more beautiful!

You mean, "Mon Dieu!"

True

Merci beaucoup !

Come to France 🇫🇷. You won't be regretting your stay.
