Diary of a Europe of twenty-four-five days in Paris, Versailles

September 11, 2008 many monks in Versailles

There is finally one day in Paris-Versailles or go to Fontainebleau to? daughter gave me the road multiple-choice. Versailles! I did not hesitate to Palace set in stone., Versailles comparison almost point, it is only 18 km from Paris, take the subway to spend two more Europe arrived. There is a big reason I choose Versailles that ended world war I after the Paris Peace Conference in Versailles convening. read point history will know that the time and date, is a Chinese heart pain! a Chinese eyes to see the world start. because Paris Peace Conference of 1919 arising out of the country, became the new old democratic revolution of the watershed.

As usual, with good water out, bought bread sausage, a food in door fruit shop and bought a melon-a bit like Xinjiang Hami melon .2.5 daughter not willing to Europe, say, carrying too heavy. I said that there is a grain in the hand, heart not to panic. Furthermore, eat your stomach won't sink. also can add strength sneer at me like a daughter-marmot, dwell to store food. I said that the last is not eat a lot of small prairie dogs?

Laughing all the way, in summer the Red that nearby, sitting on the bus, the subway is about half an hour or so to Versailles. out of the Metro, is a broad Street-shops-find people inquire about, said at a few steps walk-, in roadside saw Versailles travel information desk, let his daughter go to ask a little, that is, you can buy tickets from here directly into the side, without Queuing. I don't like with shady cheap, so continue seeking ways to find the gate of the Palace of Versailles. in a large huokou, finally saw Versailles that huge buildings.

And we see a little bit different from other building in Paris, it does not have a round dome, but many of the regular rectangular building, the Palace where the terrain is relatively high, the Palace is a large stone built a bit tilted square, the Golden Gates before there are bars. with at first sight, eyes only sleep white SA SA clear a piece.

Door edge really someone waiting in line for tickets to the door. the same is true for tickets prices. now that you have to go into here, nor will it go back to the past, is here honestly queued. ordinary tickets 13.5 Europe, if you see a Louis XVI Queen suite, then to 20 European. I care about is that signed the Treaty of Versailles which mirrors can see, the Office was informed that the purchase of ordinary tickets can enter mirror Hall, this seven-or save it.

According to the information presented, Versailles was just a small village, surrounded by a large forest, Louis XIII often come here to hunt, and construction of the Palace-Louis XIV started construction, extension of the Palace to Louis XVI, Versailles is splendid, luxurious luxury level reached its heyday., Versailles palace, residence of the King family, as well as the King of numerous lovers, noble monk and guard ranking up to 3 million more than 6 thousand had been stationed! army infantry, cavalry 4000 4000 people! King also often in the Palace of various large dance, party, celebration ceremony, spend results is to go to court fees France's annual income of a quarter!

Such expenditure and of course cannot be lasting. thus dynasty external aggression on ruthless stepped up, and finally come to the besieged, people revolt, dynastic rule or to decline.

This also seems to be a fixed pattern and foreign creators so.. therefore, the historical past of the Emperor of China, the founders are thriftiness. that is learned a lesson from toward extinction-Bourbon dynasty to Louis XVI age peaking and failure, when France revolution began, Paris fell to the Bastille, the revolt of the masses to Louis XVI out from Versailles palace, Louis XVI also do not know what happened?

The next thing is a matter of course. Versailles was hit by the uprising of the masses, then a malicious people to steal, to steal, and soon the robbers Versailles became ruins. the last forty years, or that .1833-restoration of the Emperor Louis XVIII, risk on board the Emperor throne, know the people you want to go with that., under the auspices of Louis XVIII during repair of Versailles, is no longer used as the Royal Palace, its function as a Museum of history.

Later in Versailles and staged a live Opera scenes history .1870, the Franco-Prussian War the German occupation of Versailles, the second year of the Emperor of Germany held in Versailles palace; the same year, the coronation ceremony of France of Thiers Government colluded with the army, entrenched Versailles, eventually in this set were eliminated in the Paris Commune; time of calendar set to the 1918 .12, first World War victory Guoying America Day Italy and other countries to convene at the Paris Peace Conference-the Conference until the end of June the Conference, in the so-called justice, became synonymous with loot as one of the victors. the delegation of China stated in this bear humiliation, but finally make protest: refused! finally Chinese win a little face.

Today the Palace is now queued for visitors; in the visitor all kinds of colour are not know their-Palace views from managers to visit the Queen suite of ticket price increase of a level, the Manager or aware of the psychological features of tourists: people are more concerned about several generations of Louis here before what is luxury living. Unfortunately they have not yet thought about organizing point personnel, wearing apparel, Palace to imitated Palace train them and deductive daily, this will attract more people to visit, can greatly improve the ticket price-just like we like some tourist attractions-so, Versailles managers thinking enough to explore.

Finally we turn to or from the side. visit go. a a look at the past, a layer with a layer of climb, a block of a building's walk, these houses are similar patterns, bedroom and meeting room. furniture color or texture is slightly different. one thing in common, is that all furniture, all decoration are extreme refinement, luxurious and stylish at the same time I find, as the Royal Palace, the Versailles room lighting is excellent, the Louvre, Napoleon III

Sai-more spacious suite, because housing layout are open, each floor has a bar-long corridor. corridor located floor-length Windows, open the window is the terrace, standing on the balcony, Versailles palace in front of the magnificent is incredible just a bit of a boundless is symmetric geometric shape of the large garden offers to come over to those Queen-Princess, Lady wives, lived in this House is not too be sore.

As for Office, see mirror luxury level really only the copy of the rebels of the tongue. partition the wall of the Hall is made with marble, mosaic glass, the box decorated with gilded carved ornaments, two superior character Emboss. open a high up in the middle of the arched door, because there is a wall of glass, is transparent, you can see from the outside the Hall inside some furnishings. more complex, the Hall, heavy water vagaries. Hall hanging three-row Crystal pendant lamp-ceiling are fine oil paintings and delicate decoration. mirror Hall on the other side of the wall side round blue mirror, the mirror projection has played the role of the wide angle lens, you can put the entire hall into the mirror, I wonder if the mirror Hall of the origin of the name is not because the mirror's sake.

Mirror Hall is the main rules of Versailles-Versailles Hall about those here at the signing ceremony of China delegation to protect national interests (also historians view is compelled by the pressure of the progressive forces in China), refusal to attend in the mirror Hall of the signing ceremony, finally did not sign in and around, but China the gain from the meeting of interest did not win, or even the withdrawal rights, cannot be recovered. Weaker diplomacy. backward and beaten! this is every Chinese person the bitter experience of truth-and Hi people this century of struggle, the struggle, the national strength and more powerful, the growing international status this SI Fu Hsi-, not emotion!

Visit the Pavilion Palace wander into the palace garden. This garden suitable for far away to see the spectacular view., by trees and flowers and beautiful, river pond consists of various geometry change seeing down freely. near-like look much Yimou's Olympic opening ceremony, if you stand on the platform at the stadium, and the actors performing around you, you certainly do not know what they show.

Garden in the middle is a broad straight Canal. rivers dig so straight, which is not a walk to the River, saw with the sparkling turquoise, I never would have thought that this is really a spectacle of rivers.-and garden in the Woods and trim as upright walls and a a platoon in there, forming a green corridor. imagine, when Louis ' and their lovers, in the corridors of trees is a romantic love story, very. as can be seen everywhere in the Park of sculptures, fountains, as Paris had already read a lot, was surprised.

Afterthought: Europe journal stop here, because the next day, September 12, 2008 at noon, I sat in on China Eastern Airlines CDG flight home the way home, a daughter students together with a small fan's husband, a peer should formalities are small fan help to facilitate easy, I was into customs were. before looking very xiaoliangkou yiyixibie, almost too good in that small-fan them another year is also reminds daughter reunited. said to me, if not that she is about to return home, but do not have to come, she didn't know how sad! remember Chinese old saying: Liang although good, is not a place to stay for long.
