| Page Views: 132 Last Visit to Versailles: June, 2008 | Versailles by mvtouring - last update: Nov 5, 2008 |
It was with great expectations that we waited for a sunny day to visit Versailles and its lovely gardens that we heard so much of. So early morning when I noticed the sun was shining for a change, I woke everyone up and said, get ready, we are going to Versailles. I must admit, I was rather dissapointed. Comparing it to St Petershof, it comes second in my book. Also, all the fountains were turned off, so how can you enjoy the gardens if the fountains are turned off? We were told that they only turn them on, on a Sunday, when we got there, so why was this not advertised? Anycase, I still enjoyed my day there and I know that you should not compare things. Viva la Versailles!!!!

OK, so where do we start? There are so many options and they are all good.

Beautiful photos inside the Palace; we did not get to go inside this time; just spent the day on a walking tour with PEDMAR! (Went inside with my Mother in 1977.) | jumpingnorman Sun Apr 26, 2009 07:54 UTC
You got very nice pictures of Versailles -- the Hall of Mirrors was always closed when I visited 2x before - hopefully this Sept it will be open (the third's a charm)...Norman :) | Riaiff Mon Nov 24, 2008 13:54 UTC
