It's as if Versailles was designed to be seen from the sky. Versailles is particularly beautiful when seen from above, and the stunning images in this volume reveal the ingenious geometry of its different spaces, while also offering a panoramic view of the estate in all its immensity. The classical gardens lend themselves well to aerial views: the Grande Perspective, the fountains, the intricate parterres, many of which were plotted out on architectural plans. The wooded groves seem to take on new forms. Versailles from the Sky is perfect for anyone who would love to take a trip through the four seasons; a journey that a bird’s-eye view of Versailles encapsulates beautifully.
