France 🇫🇷, Palace of Versailles

The Palace of Versailles is one of the French royal residences, which was built in the suburbs of Paris, the city of Versailles, in the XVII century. Today it is one of the most popular attractions not only in France, but also in the world. 
 
The complex of the Palace of Versailles, which includes several more "small palaces" and a park, is the largest in Europe. Despite the splendor and size, the overall appearance of the Palace of Versailles is integral, it does not create a feeling of piling up elements and excess, which allowed it to become a model for other royal residences of the Renaissance. But Versailles itself became a symbol of excessive and irrational spending of public money during the peak of the absolute monarchy. This is why the palace is interesting, since it is unlikely that residences capable of eclipsing Versailles will appear anywhere in the near historical period.
