Every king’s dream, Versailles was the residence of the French king and the cultural heartbeat of Europe for about 100 years — until the Revolution of 1789 ended the notion that God deputized some people to rule for Him on Earth. Louis XIV spent half a year’s income of Europe’s richest country turning his dad’s hunting lodge into a palace fit for a divine monarch. Louis XV and Louis XVI spent much of the 18th century gilding Louis XIV’s lily. In 1837, about 50 years after the royal family was evicted, King Louis Philippe opened the palace as a museum. Europe’s next-best palaces are Versailles wannabes.Versailles is more than a palace, it’s a symbol – of absolute monarchy, of the excess that brought about a revolution. Occupying a pleasant Parisian suburb, the chateau is one of the city’s top tourist destinations and with good reason.The park and gardens are a joy in their own right, elaborately landscaped with grand fountains and central canal; stand on the terrace, with the palace behind you, and soak up a view fit for a Sun King.

Karlovy Vary, also known as Carlsbad, is one of the most important spa towns in Central Europe.The water from the natural hot springs was highly valued for its curative powers, and the town maintains an old-worldly air, with the bathhouses and many of the town’s key buildings dating from that time.
The therapeutic effect of the Karlovy Vary springs has been utilized ever since the Middle Ages. The spa became a tryst of aristocracy in the 17th and 18th centuries. The town’s most valuable architecture has its origin in this period as well, the Baroque Church of St. Mary Magdalen, built by K. I. Dientzenhofer in 1727 – 1736. Though, the spa’s greatest upsurge occurred only in the 19th century when Karlovy Vary became world famous. The spa buildings, colonnades and pavilions were constructed in the mood of a sober Empirical and, later, Art Nouveau styles. The center of the present spa bustle in Karlovy Vary is a modern pavilion with the main Karlovy Vary spring, Vřídlo, and the Mlýnská Colonnade.
