Versailles, the Sun king's masterpiece.

Be aware of my new images daily uploads

-- Hello, Thanks for visiting, I know Versailles for many years, and I love the place very much. It is an infinite source of inspiration for photographers that search for beauty and elegance. I'm glad to share the images I collect each time I visit it, At least all those who cannot come to see it by themselves can see how beautiful it is. I have started this collection in April 2005 and hope to get this gathered in a book sooner or later. --

Les jardins de Versailles n'est pas un sujet facile. J'en ai vu plusieurs qui s'y sont cassés les dents. Vous avez su trouver les angles, les lumières, les sujets qui font la différence. Grand bravo, je suis admirative !

J. Ognjanovic		20-Oct-2008 17:13
It is actually true that there were no toilets. The way they performed their physiological needs is kind of disguesting. The servants had long robes with which they covered the people who would use chamberpots. The chamberpots were later emtied into the gardens (not as elegant as one might think).

Zane Paxton		15-Oct-2008 20:27
Terrific work!

Inspiring gallery! My mother and I are going to Paris next week (yay!) and on Tuesday afternoon we will be going to Versailles, the first time after 30 years.... if you have any suggestions, feel free! I'm just hoping we will not be walking over heads and that a Tuesday afternoon will not be as crazy as a Sunday.
