- Versailles-located south west of paris is a town that saves royal history; thier town today does not appear to be too modern; the buildings stand as they origionally were 300 years ago; the palace is the heart of the markets is the blood, the people are the soul of the town- i feel pride from them when i am in thier city...they have certain ways of doing things; but that is how they do them. I believe this town is an architects dream of a working city. The public space is used and respected so well. The transportation systems operate quite effeicently, pedestrians are moving everywhere. The buildings are ,ostly mixed use of shops and cafes with apartment living above.My school is actually Louis stables across from the chateau. Not a day goes by without me wondering about this lifestyle, this place, what it was and what it is now.
