Hello
This is our day 8 of our Europe Adventure. In this video we like to take you all to visit The Palace of Versailles.
The history of Versailles is inextricably linked with the figure of Louis XIV. Although the location existed for centuries before the sovereign, Louis XIV developed a genuine liking for Versailles early on, and decided to extend it beyond the chateau that had grown out of the hunting lodge of brick and stone first built by his father. The King, who could see great things for the chateau and the forests around it, took on the role of architect himself, and built a masterpiece with which he would forever be associated.

We are also tried escargot for our dinner. There are records of snails as food during the 6th century BCE among hunter-gatherers and they were much loved by Romans. Pliny called them “elite food”, and remains have been found among ruins in Benidorm in Spain and Volubilis in Morocco.
