Versailles, a small town in rural Western Ohio, was originally called Jacksonville but thanks to most of its early population being of French descent it got renamed shortly after being founded. So today this little village in the middle of the American nowhere shares a name with the elegant city west of Paris, world famous for its strikingly beautiful palace complex that was once the residence of French kings for over a hundred years. The Buckeye State version of Versailles though couldn‘t be further away from the shining and splendid old world grandeur that defined life in the Royal Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors or the endless gardens at the “Chateau“.
