Wednesday Postcard this week is The Estate of Versailles, encompassing the Palace and its truly magnificent grounds, the Trianon and the Petite Trianon.The grandeur and opulence is quite breathtaking, I have tried to
capture this in my photos.Unfortunately ,due to the number of visitors in the famous Hall of Mirrors , this as anyone who has visited in recent times knows, is almost impossible. I never cease to be amazed at those who only take selfies and never stop to appreciate the beauty around them.
Gripe over, please enjoy a peek at Versailles through my eyes.
Wow! (that should cover it). Thanks for sharing, Jill. xx
My pleasure to share Elizabeth. xx
Beautiful photos, Jill. Don't you just feel extra regal wandering around that place?
Thank you Connie. I must agree with Marea, you admire the grandeur of it all but also can understand why the French Revolution ensued.
I think your photographs capture the opulence very well. Versailles is a place that continues to haunt me. It is both dazzling and disturbing. Thought I'd share a novel that brings that era alive: Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran. I really enjoyed this book. Think you will, too.
Glad you enjoyed my photographs Marea. I totally agree with your conflict, i feel the same way here. Thank you for the book suggestion , I am trying to track down a copy.
Wow, how Grand! The opulence is just amazing. It looks like an interesting place to visit , I enjoyed the photos!Thanks for linking up with Turning Heads Tuesday!jess xxwww.elegantlydressedandstylish.com

What an amazing place! And I'll bet it's even better in person. I would definitely love to see it someday. 🙂
I do hope you have the chance Laurie, most definately an experience.
It is wonderful visit places so rich in history! You had a fantastic tour ( and took fantastic photos!!! )
Glad you enjoyed my photos Dan. As an Australian I so much enjoy visiting places with such a rich history.
Utterly and completely breathtaking! I'm a huge fan of all things rococo and know that this legendary palace would be a must for me if I was ever fortunate enough to be in France. Many hugs & happy weekend wishes,♥ Jessica
It truly is breathtaking Jess, I know you would be in your element.
