I have never been fortunate enough to visit Versailles, but this stunning book has provided me with a much better picture of this magnificent place. This masterpiece is 272 pages of the work of the finest artists; from beautifully created ceilings and floors, to the sculptures, paintings, hand created textiles and linens, furniture, and more. Elaborate doesn't come close to describing the gathered rooms inside of this book.

Visit the private suits of Louis XV, Marie Antoinette and Madame de Pompadour's boudoirs, and the intimate room of Louis XVI. You will also view the galleries of Versailles, Hall of Mirrors, the Royal Chapel, the Orangerie, and Marie Antoinette's Hamlet, including photographs of secret apartments and mysterious chambers.
