Watercolors MARCHAND Versailles Gallery

Versailles is the royal city built by Louis XIVth. The castle was designed by Jules Hardouin MANSART, but is not as successful a building as Les Invalides. In my opinion, it lacks something to Versailles to break its rigid lines (like the Invalides' dom).

For me the real treasure of Versailles are... the gardens designed by LE NÔTRE!
