The Hall of Mirrors, Versailles

I didn't know mirrors were high value items back then, so having a whole wing of your palace to be covered in mirrors is a display of wealth and power. They didn't have big slates of mirrors like we do now, or even big floor to ceiling windows, so they used many smaller mirrors to cover one side of the wall, so folks can see their extravagant dresses or hats as they stroll down this hall (kind of like that adventurous friend who puts mirrors on their bedroom ceiling). It's funny to think that after so many centuries, us humans have not changed that much; we still pause to admire ourselves in front of mirrors and spend way too much time perfecting our hair before we carry on.

Absolutely incredible. Come early to avoid the large crowds!

Historic hall where world war I treaty was signed. Treaty of Versailles was signed here by the winning parties of word war one.

Il impressionne surtout par l’effet des miroirs, de l’or et de la lumière mais n’est pas excessivement grand. Bonne chance si vous le trouvez sans personnes. Impresiona sobre todo por el efecto de los espejos,el dorado y la luz pero no es excesivamente grande. Suerte si lo encuentras sin gente. It impresses especially by the effect of mirrors, gold and light but is not excessively large. Good luck if you find it without people. Impressiona soprattutto per l'effetto di specchi, oro e luce, ma non è eccessivamente grande. Buona fortuna se la trovi senza persone. Es beeindruckt vor allem durch die Wirkung von Spiegeln, Gold und Licht, ist aber nicht übermäßig groß. Viel Glück, wenn Sie es ohne Menschen finden. إنه يثير الإعجاب خاصة بتأثير المرايا والذهب والضوء ولكنه ليس كبيرًا جدًا. حظا سعيدا إذا وجدته بدون أشخاص. 它特別受到鏡子，金色和光線的影響，但並不過分。祝你好運沒有人。 それは特に鏡、金と光の効果によって印象を与えますが、過度に大きくはありません。あなたが人々なしでそれを見つけたら幸運を祈ります。 특히 거울, 금, 빛의 효과로 인상적이지만 지나치게 크지는 않습니다. 사람들없이 찾을 수 있다면 행운을 빈다. Особенно впечатляет эффект зеркал, золота и света, но он не слишком велик. Удачи, если вы найдете это без людей.

An extremely impressive, long hall of paintings and sculpture of French victories and events (biased toward the king, of course)!
