Hall of Mirrors
The Hall of Mirrors is the biggest room in the Versailles palace. It owes its name to the 17 mirrors facing the 17 windows and reflecting the gardens (to the right of the picture).
Used in the 17th century for royal celebrations, the Hall of Mirrors saw the 1871 proclamation of the German empire by Otto van Bismarck and the 1918 signature of the Versailles treaty which ended World War I.
