  • Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | Side-tripping from Paris into the Ile de France, we indulge in the world of royal and aristocratic extravagance in the pre-Revolutionary playground of France’s elite. We explore Versailles, Europe’s palace of palaces; exquisite Vaux-le-Vicomte; and extravagant Fontainebleau, home to centuries of French rulers. We’ll also marvel at the glass and statuary of Chartres Cathedral…and dine like kings. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #france

    Hello Mr.Steves. This video has been shot so well. The palaces featured here are pointers to the opulence, luxury and prosperity that were the hallmark of pre revolution France. Megalomania at its peak. The serene lakes, the cool greenery and the sprawling palace grounds backed by your intelligent and informative commentary make this vlog superlative. Being a French teacher it has always been my dream to travel to France. Your videos will surely guide me just like the way your Italy vlogs inspired me before I travelled to that country last year. Thank you Mr. Steves.

      Don't forget how many died on the job and how many peasants toiled and starved while paying taxes to pay for it all. The Elite did not pay tax, a time the elite are trying hard to return to.

      Dear sir you made the greatest choice. As a french man I would choice the same places.
      In Versailles when the fountain are running there is some baroque music in every "bosquet". It is so lovely. From time to time there is what we call the night party. It is a party with some fire works as it was done for the sun king on the 17th century.
      Chartres cathedral is always so beautiful. Don't miss the stain glass "Notre dame de la belle verrière" it is the most beautiful of the cathedral. This place is well-known for its bleu stain glasses we call this colour "le bleu de Chartres" until now nobody could remake a such bleu colour

    Also I have a degree in Divinity. So actually the floors are crosses as are the windows and the mirrors are cross in designs. And the ceiling it was not someone who decided just to paint people. Now if you are clairvoyant you can ask God to separate the clouds to see the people and to show heaven which is drawn on your show 6:43 parts of the Hall of Records is shown on the ceiling there. Yes you can see that all the time if you look up after praying a lot with angels around you. In France they just painted what they saw. All the churches had similar paintings...... the ceilings are not someone's imaginations they are real just seen by painters who work for Kings and Queens. All of the white and the Gold it to make the Building more Divine for its purpose on earth as in Heaven to rule with a lot better advisers.... was the plan people don't know that it was only told to the inside groups. As you see the mirrors are also doors.......
