Reseña del editor

The Gardens of the Palace of Versailles with their baroque fountains are proof that even nature had to bow to the will of the absolute monarch Louis XIV: illustrated below is the Bassin d'Apollon.

Paris is not only the capital city of France, but also the absolute focal point - everything is orientated toward it, in spite of attempts at decentralization in the past. All distances are measured from a marker set in the ground in front of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. Even today, it can still be quicker to travel by train via Paris to another French destination than to take a direct route. And if this means spending some time in the city of light, that can only be a good thing!
