I always thought I preferred a minimalist aesthetic when it came to design interiors. That was before I visited the Palace of Versailles. Now I’m all about chandeliers and excess. You should see how many photos I took of chandeliers. It was bordering on obsessive. Those French monarchs really knew a thing or two about grandeur. Other than that, there’s not much I can say to adequately describe Versailles. The place is massive. You really just have to see it for yourself.
So beautiful! I really want to visit there one day.
Oooo, decadent! The problem with decadence is that you've got to have a big entrance hall/ballroom/etc to put things like chandeliers in, and gold leaf wall paper! And of course, lots-o-money.
But i do like things like fancy plasterwork in modern homes/non-palaces lol
Very pretty ^^
@Lyndall: I couldn't recommend it enough!
@Hannah: maybe I'll compromise and just paint my ceiling instead and get a few fancy chairs and paint the arms gold haha
lucky you!
i'll go to Paris at the end of september for the fashion week, hope to have time for visit Versailles like you!!

Looks amazing!

I've never been there, but your pictures make me really want to!
I love the gardens there, they are so gorgeous and those hidden little parks. I wish that the tours let you see more of the interior too.
WOW is all I can say, the first three photos are so lovely!
This place is on my list of places-I-most-definitely-have-to-visit and every other travel orientated list I have (:
Oh. My. God! I have always wanted to go there and now I want to go even more! x

the opulence is stunning. I normally am more minimalistic too but regardless its beauty nonetheless.

Christine:)
what a beautiful place! i am now kicking myself that i didn't take the bus trip to versailles when i was in paris.
It's really great you had the time to visit Versailles ! I could spend way too long there. Even if sometimes I find it unbelievable that people actually lived with such grandeur and decadence, I love its atmosphere full of history …
versailles has to be one of my all time favourite places! you're photos of it are beautiful! Tessa x
