Hello! I’ll talk about the highlight of the Versailles Palace.

First, I’ll review its beautiful garden. It was made by Andre Le Notre who was a garden designer in France. 36,000 people were pressed into service to complete it. It is very famous for a beautiful fountain.
Second, I’ll review the mirrored room. It is a beautiful room that its wall is made of so many mirrors. About 600 mirrors are used and the total length of it is about 75 m. In there, the enthronement ceremony of Wilhelm I was held, and the Treaty of Versailles was concluded.
It is very beautiful and historical building. If you visit there, you must be impressed with its beauty. Thank you!
