Versailles Palace

Today we went to a really famous palace in all of Paris, the Palace of Versailles. This palace has many gardens and beautiful fountains.  It is a very popular tourists attraction in all of France. King Louis XIII and King XIV had different ideas on the palace. The palace first was a hunting lodge that King Louis XIII created. After his death his grandson King Louis XIV turned the hunting lodge into a house of government. He was successful, until he died and they turned it into a museum. In the musuem it has  the famous Napoleon artwork, the Hall of Mirrors, and so much more. 

So this is a little bit of information about why the palace is so popular. The palace is so popular because it has many famous statues and paintings from all different countries. First, I saw a famous painting by Leonardo De Vinci . There were many statues like Athena the goddess of wisdom. Next, we went outside where there were lots of beautiful statues and water fountains making the landscape terrific. It was 1:00 clock, so it was time for lunch. We ate our sandwiches on the steps down to the entrance of the magnificent gardens. 

After we went walking in the gardens we went to Marie Antonnetes village. There were houses, and lots of fishes, and there was a farm with horses, sheep, and dogs. We got to feed the horses, until it was 4:00 clock it was time to go home. So we took the train to the entrance of the palace. We were about to exit when my mom wanted to see the Hall of Mirrors. We got a little confused and we asked a man where the Hall of Mirrors was.  He told us where it was, so we walked a little and there it was. It was a magnificent thing. I saw all the mirrors, I looked in the mirrors and there were some that turned into doors. Last, we left and we got a really yummy cheese bread and ate it on the train home!
