Eleven a.m., Palace of Versailles.

Ye Tian and his convoy drove from the city of Paris to this huge palace complex located in the southwestern suburbs of Paris, ready to visit this famous palace and admire the antique artworks displayed here!

The Palace of Versailles, located in Versailles, the capital of the Yvelines department in the southwestern suburbs of Paris, France, is one of the famous palaces in Paris and one of the five largest palaces in the world.

The other four palaces are the Forbidden City in Beijing, Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, the White House in the United States, and the Kremlin in Russia.

This famous palace complex was built in 1624 by Louis XIII, father of Louis XIV, King of France and King of the Sun.

At the beginning of its establishment, the Palace of Versailles was just a hunting residence of Louis XIII, with only a red brick building, a total of 26 rooms upstairs and downstairs!

In 1643, at the age of five, Louis XIV ascended the throne, and after his marriage in 1664, he decided to move the palace to Versailles, where it was built on the basis of the hunting lodge that Louis XIII had built.

In the decades that followed, Louis XIV spent a lot of money on the construction of this huge palace.

In 1688, the main building of the Palace of Versailles was completed, and in 1710, the construction of the entire Palace and Gardens of Versailles was completed.

So far, the Palace of Versailles has become the largest, most majestic and most luxurious palace building in Europe, and has also become the center of aristocratic activities, art centers and cultural fashion in France and even Europe.

Later, it was continuously expanded, and today the Palace of Versailles is a huge palace complex with 2,300 rooms, 67 staircases and 5,210 pieces of furniture, making it one of the top five palaces in the world!

For 107 years, from Louis XIV to Louis XVI's arrival in Paris by the revolutionary citizens of Paris, the Palace of Versailles was the seat of the Bourbon royal court of France.

In 1789, the history of the Palace of Versailles as a royal palace came to an end.

During the horrors of the French Revolution, the Palace of Versailles was looted many times, the furniture, frescoes, tapestries, chandeliers and furnishings were looted, and the doors and windows of the palace were smashed and demolished.

In 1793, all the remaining works of art and furniture from the Palace of Versailles were transported to the Louvre, and the Palace of Versailles remained in ruins for forty years.

It was not until 1833 that King Louis Philippe of the House of Orleans ordered the restoration of the Palace of Versailles and turned it into a historical museum.

The place where Ye Tian and they got off was located on a street next to the Palace of Versailles, in front of a public parking lot in front of the annex of the Palace of Versailles.

When you get off from here, you can only see a corner of the Palace of Versailles, and you can't get a full picture, nor can you immediately feel the grandeur and shock of this world-famous palace.

After getting off the bus, Ye Tian and the others began to stroll forward, walking towards the street corner not far in front, turning the street corner in front, you can see the entire Palace of Versailles, and have a beautiful view of the gardens of Versailles.

Around Ye Tian and them, Matisse and many security personnel had dispersed, vigilantly staring at the surrounding situation, ready to respond at any time.

A little farther behind, those Paris policemen in civilian clothes followed behind, staring closely at Ye Tian and them in front of them, not daring to relax for a moment!

With the appearance of Ye Tian and them, this public parking lot, and even this street dominated by Baroque buildings, immediately set off a commotion.

The tourists who happened to be here, as well as the pedestrians on the street, all looked at Ye Tian and them, and the sound of whispering could be heard everywhere!

"I'm going! Why did this guy Steven come to the Palace of Versailles? This scene is too exaggerated, even if the President of the United States comes to visit the Palace of Versailles, the battle will be nothing more than that!

Luckily, this is the Palace of Versailles, not the Saint-Touin antique thrift market, or galleries and antique shops or anything, so don't worry about Steven going crazy to ransack this palace!"

"Did you hear that! Steven, the bastard, picked up a masterpiece of Gauguin yesterday in Barbizon for nothing, worth at least tens of millions of euros, and the news has spread all over France, causing a huge sensation!

This bastard is so lucky that God seems to be with him forever, and loves this guy so much, that all the good things have fallen on his head, and the whole of Paris is about to be swept away!"

Ye Tian didn't pay attention to the discussions that kept coming to his ears, but enjoyed the feeling of being a star and being a star, which was really cool!

During the stroll, he always had a bright smile on his face, and kept greeting pedestrians, tourists, and staff on both sides of the street, nodding lightly, and performing impeccably!

Seeing his warm performance like a spring breeze, the people on the street couldn't help but feel very surprised, and even wondered if they were dazzled!

Is this still the Steven who is known for his ruthlessness and has been hated by countless people to the point of gnashing his teeth? This is clearly a humble gentleman, could it be that all the rumors he heard before are false?

While nodding to the pedestrians and tourists on the street and showing his demeanor, Ye Tian did not forget to introduce the scenery on this street and the buildings on both sides of the street to Betty!

"These buildings are supposed to have been built at the end of the seventeenth century and are Baroque buildings, which evolved from Renaissance architecture and were a very popular architectural style at the time.

Baroque architecture is characterized by freedom of form, the pursuit of dynamism, a penchant for rich decoration and carving, strong colors, often interspersed with curved surfaces, and oval spaces.

As far as architecture is concerned, Baroque architecture is considered to be a deviant architectural style, very different from the classicist architecture of the Palace of Versailles, but with a different beauty!"

"The buildings on both sides of the street are indeed very beautiful and dizzying! Unfortunately, they are already a little mottled and old, and you can imagine how gorgeous and dazzling they were when they were first built!"

Betty said with emotion, tilting her head slightly and admiring the beautiful buildings on both sides of the street.

Ye Tian also tilted his head slightly, admiring the buildings on both sides of the street, but he saw a lot more than Betty and the others!

At this time, he had secretly turned on the perspective, and his eyes penetrated the walls, and he could see the situation inside the buildings on both sides of the street clearly, and nothing was missed!

The three-story building on the left, built in the late 17th century, is supposed to be an office building, and there are some staff inside, drinking coffee, talking and laughing, and the efficiency of work can be imagined!

In addition, in this building, Ye Tian also saw some antique artworks.

Among them, there are paintings, sculptures, and other objects with decorative functions, but they are not of much value and are not worth paying attention to, let alone impressing Ye Tian!

The building on the right, next to the Palace of Versailles, is supposed to be a storehouse, which houses a lot of books in the fields of architecture, art, history, science, etc.

These books were published in a variety of years, from the mid-to-late seventeenth century to modern times, and there are many books from all eras!

Among those books, Ye Tian really found a few quite good ancient books and manuscripts, radiating dazzling light, and he could also see several layers of charming halos!

But unfortunately, those are all books in the Palace of Versailles, and it is basically impossible to get them!

For Ye Tian, it was easy to break into this building in the dark and take those ancient books and manuscripts into his pocket, but Ye Tian disdained the behavior of a gentleman on the beam!

After introducing the Baroque buildings on both sides of the street, Ye Tian began to introduce the history and origin of the Palace of Versailles to Betty and the others!

In the mid-seventeenth century, Louis XIV came up with the idea of moving the royal court out of Paris due to the constant revolt of the citizens of Paris against the royal family, which led to the idea of moving the royal court out of Paris.

In 1660, Louis XIV was invited to visit the Château de Viscount of Fouquet, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and visited the Château de Vaud, known as the 'Palazzo de Vaud', and was impressed by its grandeur and luxury!

At that time, the French royal family lived in the dilapidated Fontainebleau Palace and Vansenne Palace, and none of the royal family's palaces in the suburbs could be compared with the 'Wo Palace'!

Perhaps motivated by jealousy, Louis XIV was furious for failing to do his duty, threw Fouquet into the Bastille for embezzlement, and ordered the designer of the Palais de la Vaud, Le Nôtte, and the architect Le Vau, to design a new palace for him.

That's why Louis XIV built the Palace of Versailles, a magnificent and world-famous palace that can be said to be the product of jealousy, which is also quite interesting!"

While speaking, Ye Tian and the others had already walked to the corner of the street, and the huge square in front of the Palace of Versailles immediately appeared in front of them!

When they turned the corner, the Palace of Versailles, one of the five major palaces in the world, immediately broke into their eyes!
