Royal Chapel, Versailles Palace, Paris, France🇫🇷

A heart speed to the city streets we begin to feel the fire We rise like tall buildings as the chemicals they take us higher the night’s young and it’s just begun that she puts a hand in my we want to chase the name want to dance

To the light CL St from the sky just two hearts running wild never sleep never stop every sh from the top we’re going to we’re going to be two hearts running wild another morning

Anecdote –
Every day the Court attended the King’s mass, which was usually held in the morning at 10. The sovereign sat in the royal tribune surrounded by his family. The ladies of the Court occupied the lateral tribunes, while the Officers and members of the public were seated in the nave.
Construction of the Royal Chapel was completed in 1710 at the end of the reign of Louis XIV. It was the fifth – and final – chapel built in the Palace since the reign of Louis XIII. The design was presented to the king by Jules Hardouin-Mansart in 1699. Unfortunately, the First Architect to the King died in 1708 before the end of the works, which were finished by his brother-in-law, Robert de Cotte.
The vaulted ceiling, which Hardouin-Mansart designed without transvers ribs to create a unified surface, is dedicated to the Holy Trinity: in the centre is God the Father in his Glory by Antoine Coypel, in the apse is The Resurrection by Charles de La Fosse, and above the Royal tribune is The Descent of the Holy Ghost by Jean Jouvenet.
