Walk inside the Palace of Versailles with me
This is a walking tour and 4k visit of the Palace of Versailles also known as Chateau de Versailles.
It is a world-famous palace located in Versailles, about 12 miles (19 km) west of Paris, France. The palace is owned by the French Republic and has since 1995 been managed, under the direction of the French Ministry of Culture, by the Public Establishment of the Palace, Museum and National Estate of Versailles. 15,000,000 people visit the Palace, Park, and Gardens of Versailles every year, making it one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world.
A château was built on the site of the Palace of Versailles by King Louis XIII, and expanded by Louis XIV in three phases from 1661 to 1715. The palace was a favorite residence for both men, and in 1682, Louis XIV moved the seat of his court and government to Versailles, making the city of Versailles the de facto capital of France. This state of affairs was continued by Kings Louis XV and Louis XVI, who primarily made interior alterations to the palace, but in 1789 the royal family and capital of France returned to Paris. For the rest of the French Revolution, the Palace of Versailles was largely abandoned and emptied of its contents, and the population of the surrounding city plummeted.
Napoleon Bonaparte, following his takeover of France, used Versailles as a summer residence from 1810 to 1814, but did not restore it. When the French Monarchy was restored, it remained in Paris and it was not until the 1830s that meaningful repairs were made to the palace. A museum of French history was installed within it, replacing the apartments of the southern wing.
The estate of Versailles has been massively influential in the history of art, architecture, and horticulture, and has been recognized as an important piece of the world's cultural heritage. The palace has also been important to the histories of France, Europe, and the world from the 17th century to the present day. The palace and park were designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, while the French Ministry of Culture has placed the palace, its gardens, and some of its subsidiary structures on its list of culturally significant monuments.

I HAVE TRAVELLED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND FOR ME VERSAILLES REMAINS BY FAR THE BEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL PALACE OF THE WORLD.. THIS IS A REAL MASTERPIECE AT ALL LEVELS... I REALLY RECOMMAND IT TO VISIT IT IN A LIFE...
Ve a Shonbrün, en Austria ( no se si esté bien escrito), para que aprecies la magnificencia de un palacio, en éste, se reúne lo mejor de lo mejor Versalles, queda en segundo lugar empatado con Winsor el gran palacio inglés ... hogar de Enrique Vlll
LUVR museum is good Split is very good garden park skulpture
WOW!! Thank you so much for this. As someone who may never get to come and visit I'm incredibly grateful to see such a high definition walk through that is nice and slow and looks at so much. I have been ad admirer of Versailles for a long time but seeing it like this has made put me even more in awe of it. Thank you :D
This comment made me so happy! I’m so glad you enjoyed the walk, it truly is a stunning place 🥰
Your walking tour is very well done and one of the best since it shows in a very logical way the main parts open to public from North to South wings and includes even most of the Empire rooms at ground floor ! That nevertheless represents only a bit more than a... third of the main palace only (without the Trianons, and the stables). You can visit as well the ground floor of the North wing (the 3rd is the only part still closed in Versailles), the 3rd floor of the South wing, the Dauphin, daughters of Louis XV and captain of the guard appartments, the Crusades and Africa rooms (where the main exhibitions are held) and only with a guided tour (so impossible the same day) the Congress rooms and the 5 small appartments (King, Queen, Maintenon, Pompadour and Du Barry).
One of the most amazing buildings man has ever build¡¡¡ I hope you keep with your great work. Record Paris city centre,please. Thanks¡¡¡

👋🙂
One day soon
I'm watching the show on Netflix now, and I came here to understand more. It was incredible of that king to think big. But how come no one thought of a poop room? Anyway I would love to visit one Day.
I think that for me the most lasting impressions of the vast and opulent "Chateau de Versailles"(to give it the correct name?) are the anomalies and stark contrasts, contained therein. For example for all it's massive size and lavish decor, it was only ever occupied by three kings, Louis XlV, Louis XV and of course Louis XVl, no others. Another irony is that during the turbulent reign of Louis XVl, the French Royal family apparently only really lived in about 10-12 rooms out of the hundreds, the palace contains. Another to me disconcerting fact I was told by guides, that when in the palace, it was virtually impossible for the royal family to be alone with each other. Even when dining privately(not at official banquets) The French royals were surrounded and watched by crowds of courtiers each jostling for a better view of "the family", dining. Not much chance for ordinary family conversation and banter at the table, then.. Yet another anomaly about the palace is that there is no central/Main staircase to use as a reference point for example, unlike every other royal palace in the world, as far as I know. Apparently when the original core of the Chateau was built by Louis XlV there was one called the "Ambassadeurs' Staircase", but when Louis XV became king he hated it so much that he ordered it to be destroyed. It was never rebuilt. There are of course secondary and ancilliary staircases such as the "Queen's Staircase" but no "Official Main Staircase"....! Perhaps for me the most unexpected aspect was that as we all know, Louis XVl was France's last absolute monarch, ruling alone for most of his turbulent reign, but for all the power and prestige the office held, The King's Study from where he effectively ruled the country was a surprisingly small, (about 20 sq. mts) and austere room overlooking a bare, inner courtyard, not the vast, lavish, opulent space one might have expected by any means...
Imagine how many palaces like this we could build if we starved the people!
Мы бы тоже за20 лет просто погулять по усадьбам ,как все!но только в москве были и не всегда!!!
dope ! it's so sad the king was head-cut :(((
You confuse with Louis XVI. Louis XIV died in his room and he still had his head 🤭

I didn't notice any bathrooms and are there secret underground passages from the palace into the outside buildings do you know
it's France, just go outside.
Even nowadays, there are NO bathrooms at Versailles. There’s a hidden one for the queen but it’s not open to the public. As a tourist, there are 2 restrooms in the entire castle and gardens. The day I went, one of those restrooms was closed (the one in the gardens) and the one left was by the information module. It was terribly dirty and one person at the time could use it. I can only imagine the terrible odor and bad hygiene they had back in the 18th century. I pretty much spent one hour and half looking for a restroom and at one point I started wondering how much they would fine me If I made my needs on the gardens lol You could see the panic in people’s faces when they didn’t find a restroom in Versailles lol
All Royal palaces have always had secret passages, underground or not. Now the stories that circulate abroad in particular that the Court of Versailles did not wash, and that the French were dirty make me laugh. There were and are bathrooms in Versailles, but not designed like ours now. Rooms were specially reserved for daily ablutions and the equipment was brought each time, copper tubs, towels, etc. by servants, once the bath was finished everything was taken away. Only King Louis XIV had his own bathroom, with a marble bathtub dug into the floor. It may not be open to the public or is under renovation. Don't forget that Versailles is huge, and only 1/3 of the Palace is open to the public.

The restrooms are indicated on the map of the palace that you can ask at the entrance... Louis XIV and the royal family had no bathroom, but as soon as the palace was built, an entire "bath appartment" of several... rooms with a large octogonal red marble pool indoor at ground floor, later replaced by the Dauphin appartment ! Some real bathrooms with bathtub were created later in the 18th c. in the small appartments for Louis XV or his queen (now transformed), while those of the Pompadour, the Du Barry, Louis XVI or Marie Antoinette still exist, the last ones even had a oven above for hot water that you can see when you visit the small appartments of queen Marie Antoinette. But many other members of the court and of course their servants were packed in too small appartments without space for a separate bathroom, so they simply used chairs or pots !
Its no bad but it could be bigger as a flagship palace without reforming it is museum to expand it like Louvre.

Amazing tour. Loved the yummy mummy in the red top and floral skirt

Is this all the furniture??
I believe so, yes ☺️
Actually there’s more furniture than you can see here because of the crowds blocking the lower views of rooms. The curators of Versailles are constantly trying to obtain objects & furniture with a Royal provenance. Plus they accurately reproduce objects, for example the torchers of women holding candelabras lining the sides of the Hall of mirrors are mostly Fiberglas replicas of the few originals that survived. In Marie Antoinette’s bedroom- all of the fabric is modern reproductions of her Summer design interior. They took the design of her real bedspread (which amazingly survived) & used that pattern for the rest of the room. The real bedspread, when I was last there, was on the bed although it was in plastic, maybe they removed it to protect it from light, but I’m surprised they didn’t replace it with a new reproduction. I think their main aim is to give visitors a feeling they of what Versailles was like.
@Real Aiglon why were the apartments destroyed?
I hope there are public washrooms there.
Living with such opulence,and yet most lived in severe poverty ! Hence ,French Revelation
Been all the kings of old are rolling in their graves at what France had become in the modern era.
Palace of Versailles and Fontainebleau have been closed to the public for 4 years. They have been put back into the hands of The Fontane Monarch who they were stolen from. Both are private residence, no one is touring there, like disney land. Which makes this video over 4 years old.
You're pretty damn ignorant. RESEARCH PEOPLE. Had friends who were there recently. 😂Ugh
Versailles is not a palace but a castle!

This palace just shows how ridiculously the French managed their economy back then.
When it comes to monarchy France did it best. They should bring it back.
Does Versailles still smell?
It didn’t when i went there 🙊
I think your comment smell a lot jealousy !
@@McCainnn I think you are ignorant. Versailles was known for its bad hygiene. Do your research it was a legitimate question
@@ln7989 Jalousie ⚜
No, but maybe if you go it will smell bad, stupidity smells bad
It could house 10 thousand Ukrainian refugees.
endless gaudy rooms with no halls. wayyy over the top for rooms they probably didnt linger in. Its impressive how impressed they where
Try to find corridors in 17th century palaces. Good luck. It's for people interested in history, shallow visitors can go elsewhere.
Talking about Kevin,and they will all turn to his religion" I here Torist saying
where is arno dorian? jk
