    Located in the southwestern suburbs of Paris, the Palace of Versailles is a microcosm of French history. Once the residence of French kings, its unique architecture and lavish decorations perfectly showcase French nobility and elegance. Strolling through Versailles and its gardens is like stepping back into that glorious era, experiencing its rich historical atmosphere.

    The moment you step into the garden of Versailles, you feel like you are in the golden dream of the Sun King. The hedges trimmed into geometric patterns are oily in the sun, and the golden chariots of the Apollo statue in the fountain pool seem to break out of the water. I walked barefoot across the lawn to the night music fountain show, the water column danced with the baroque movement, and the moonlight plated the silver edge of the Latona fountain. The most shocking thing is to stand at the end of the Grand Canal and look back at the palace, 300 years ago, the extreme luxury and human artistic ambition, spread out into a living oil painting in the sunset.

    The Gardens of Versailles (Jardins du château de Versailles) occupy a large part of the Domaine Royal de Versailles. The gardens are located to the west of the palace and cover an area of ​​approximately 800 hectares, most of which are arranged in the classic French formal garden style. The Grand Canal is the masterpiece at the center of the Versailles Gardens.

    The Petit Trianon is a building with very few tourists, and the scale of the building is really not small. There are not many tourists visiting, but the building can be said to be quite grand and magnificent.
