Yesterday I showed you a few photos of Versailles, outside of Paris. Outside of St Petersburg, Russia, there stand several palaces which are said to have been inspited by Peter the Great's visit to Versailles. My pick is Peterhof, on the Baltic coast (Gulf of Finland) about 45 minutes from St Petersburg. Unlike Versailles, where the fountains operate relatively rarely, at Peterhof they are on whenever visitors are present. A magnificent sight.
