Built by Louis XIV as a hospital & resting home for elderly invalid soldiers, this structure is truly amazing. I only hope the pic can help convey the feeling of how immense this beautiful building truly is - so large yet incredible in its detail and glamour - so Parisian! And to top it off (literally) the top dome area is completely covered in gold (was just refurbed recently) - WOW does that thing shine in the sun!!!
