About
Hurtige fakta: Glimrende lysskær fra hundredvis af krystallysekroner kaster et varmt, gyldent skær over marmorgulve, og rummenes akustik får ceremonier til at føles teatralske. Mere end 2.000 værelser gemmer på overdådige gobeliner, fine møbler og hemmelige korridorer, så en rundvisning ofte tager hele dagen at fordøje.
Højdepunkter: Gå ind i Spejlsalen og læg mærke til 357 blankpolerede spejle, der fanger lyset fra 17 høje buede vinduer, så alt glitrer som et hav af små solpletter på kridhvidt stuk. Bagved ligger Hameau de la Reine fra 1783, hvor Marie Antoinette fik anlagt en lille landlig idyl med bindingsværkshuse og en fungerende mølle, man stadig kan høre kværnen og mærke duften af våd jord på en tidlig morgentur.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable, flat shoes; palace floors and garden paths mean lots of walking.
- Head straight to the Hall of Mirrors early for photos before crowds arrive, and avoid using flash.
- Start with the Grand Trianon and Marie Antoinette estate to escape the main palace crush.
- On Musical Fountain or Grandes Eaux days position yourself by the Grand Canal for the best fountain views, otherwise use side paths for quieter garden photos.
