The Hall of Mirrors
The hall is made up of seventeen mirror-clad arches that reflect the seventeen arcaded windows that overlook the gardens. Each arch contains twenty-one mirrors with a total complement of 357 used in the decoration of the galerie des glaces. The arches themselves are fixed between marble pilasters whose capitals depict the symbols of France including the fleur-de-lys and the Gallic cockerel or rooster.

We absolutely loved touring Versailles and can’t wait to visit again. We spent about 4 hours but could have stayed all day long.
