Description
Thomas Garnier's stunning photography reveals the breathtaking beauty of Versailles from above. For centuries, the Palace has harboured a secret: its extraordinary charm when viewed from the air.
The idea was first experienced by King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette in 1783, when a hot-air balloon carrying a sheep, duck, and chicken soared over the Estate. Now, with the advent of drone cameras, it's possible to capture an infinity of new perspectives on this iconic location.
This book offers a unique aerial view of Versailles, showcasing the geometry of its spaces and the genius of its creators. From the classical gardens to the wooded groves, every aspect is transformed by the bird's-eye view, revealing new forms and patterns that are both beautiful and fascinating.
