The castle of Versailles



Today, I'll speak about a very famous place in France : the Castle of Versailles.

I saw this castle for the first time three years ago.
It was during a trip to Paris with my class.
We spent two days in the capital and we visited many places, it was great!
And my favourite place that we visited was the castle of Versailles, because I had never seen it before and it is a huge and beautiful castle.


This castle was built by the father of Louis XIV and later, it was the "house" of Louis XIV.
The King renovated the castel and took on many gardeners for create a beautiful garden.
In France, this garden is very famous and its name is " Le jardin des Tuileries ".
The castle is a symbol of the Renaissance.


Nowadays we can visit the castle and its many rooms like the king's bedroom or the "glace's gallery".
Or we can go for a walk around the magnificent gardens.
