Picture This: The Palace of Versailles as you have never seen it before

VERSAILLES FROM THE SKY by Thomas Garnier (Thames & Hudson £40, 208pp)

The Royal Chapel in the Palace of Versailles. Versailles From The Sky by Thomas Garnier is available now from The Mail Bookshop.

 With its famous Hall of Mirrors, opulent Royal Chapel (above) and geometrically perfect topiary, the Palace of Versailles is something to wonder at. 

Here, pictured in all of its gilded glory by Thomas Garnier, official photographer of the Palace, these drone-captured pictures revel in the beauty of Louis XIV’s vision.
