The city of Versailles

Versailles is a town located about ten miles to the southwest of Paris, France. There you will find one of France's major tourist attractions: the Chateau, built by Louis XIV, the Sun King. It attracts about 30,000 tourists a day, which makes something like 10 million per year. You'll also find other museums, as well as a full range of restaurants and accommodations (including a campground) catering to the tourist traffic. One of the most frequented historic cities of Europe; EEIE School of Management is situated at the very premises of the chateau de Versailles.

The city of Versailles started out as a simple French town that was under the rule of the King of France. Because of it’s proximity to Paris, it really doesn’t need another representative or overlord. The main occupation of the people then was farming. The people dedicated themselves to farming and that industry established the name of Versailles in the city of France. The town was buzzing with activities and the people seemed to like they way of living. It was the 13th century and people are so happy with the condition. The luck of the city started when Louis XIV decided to establish the seat of power in Versailles. Louis wanted to build something that will eventually protect him even if something will really happen. During these times, the court was eventually built in Versailles and then the government’s centre was officially transferred in 1682. Today’s Versailles is not just a chateau (castle), though: it is a city with a population of just under 100,000 people. Like any city, it has different neighbourhoods, with businesses, schools, universities and other educational institutions, churches, youth organizations, community groups, and sports facilities.
