Picture of the Day: Hall of Mirrors


Taken in the ever-so-famous Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. When King Louis XIV was in power, he moved government from Paris to Versailles in order to enable his security. He created this Hall of Mirrors in his palace with one wall full of mirrors facing a wall full of windows. When the sun rose in the morning, it created the effect of the sun all around in the room (soo beautiful). It's one of the reasons why Louis XIV was called the Sun King. Crazy, huh? I love the history of Paris (:
