Versailles - the largest palace in Europe which was built in the 17th century has at least five million visitors every year. The combination of palace, park, statues and fountains built for the Sun King Louis XIV is still a monument to his absolute power. The space, the size and the history is admired by everyone who visits this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Two weeks ago a major renovation of the Latona fountain has begun and will last at least 16 months. During this time visitors are invited to follow the work of the many artisans involved in the repair from a platform.
The sculptures at the South side entrance to the park are waiting to be renovated and it is sad to see their beauty still covered under moss and dirt.
That was today November 11 we visited this park.
ReplyDeleteGood that they started the renovation :)
