The Palace of Versailles is about 24 kilometres from Paris, France and it’s an important historical site. It’s famous not only because it’s beautiful, but also because it’s a symbol of the old royal family of France. There are 700 rooms in this beautiful palace and people come from all over the world to see it. The palace has about three million visitors every year. There are some very famous rooms in the palace. One of them is the Hall of Mirrors. The Hall of Mirrors is an enormous, long room. It’s 73 metres long, 10.5 metres wide and 12.3 metres high. There are 17 windows on one side of the room, but there aren’t any curtains. On the other side of the room, there are 357 mirrors. There are many beautiful pictures on the walls and ceiling, too. Another famous room is the Clock Room. One of the clocks in the room is an “astronomical” clock. It’s from the year 1754. It tells the time, but it also tells which day, month and year it is. Napoleon’s Bedroom is also a special room. It has got furniture from the 18th century. There is a bed with curtains, and it has got pillows on it. Next to the bed, there is a small table with a lamp. On the wall, there is a picture. All the furniture is very elegant, of course! The gardens at the palace are amazing. There are 200,000 trees and thousands of flowers in the gardens. There is a canal in the centre – the Grand Canal. It is 1,500 metres long. The estate of Queen Marie Antoinette is also very beautiful. It is part of Versailles, but it is not right next to the palace. There are 11 cottages around a lake, and each cottage has got a garden. There is an old farm with cows and sheep! The estate is an important part of a visit to Versailles.
