  • Favorite Thing: When you pass the exterior gate you will have on the left (photo 1) a red panel indicating < Billets - Tickets > where you have to buy your ticket. On the right of that panel stands one with indication < A > this entrance is for all individuals having a ticket or a Paris museum pass.
    There is no gate C anymore for the Paris Museum Pass in contradiction with what your will read on the Paris museum pass and previous info from Versailles website. On the extreme right is the entrance for groups.
    As more and more visitors buy their ticket in advance you find already a line at 9 hour at the opening at the gate . Here visitors pass in a prefab "pavilion" with 3 detector frames (photo 2). They check your bag.
    From here you can go where you want, usually the circuit of the "Château de Versailles" with the highlights "Galerie des Glaces" and "Chambre du Roi".

    The crowds at the Château de Versailles attain a maximum in summer season, by nice weather as it is no fun to visit the kilometres of gardens in the rain, and on Tuesday when the Louvre is closed.

    ============================

    ENTRER AU CHATEAU.
    Il y a des modifications qui ne sont pas mentionnées sur le site web du Château de Versailles.
    En passant la grille extérieure vous verrez à votre gauche le panneau rouge "Billets - Tickets" qui dirige vers la file pour acheter le billet d'entrée.
    Juste à droite se trouve un panneau rouge "Individuels avec billets, sur réservation, visiteurs munis de pass".
    Il n'y a plus d'entrée spéciale pour les visiteurs munis du Paris Museum Pass bien que cela figure encore sur les informations web et les imprimés.
    Comme de plus en plus de visiteurs achètent leur billet à l'avance il y a des files à l'entrée < A > dès l'ouverture à 9 h.
    Par cette file < A > les visiteurs passent dans le pavillon de sécurité où se trouvent 3 portiques de détection. Le contenu des sacs est vérifié à la main. Passé la sécurité le visiteur peut se diriger ver les circuits habituels très encombrés les jours d'affluence ou le parc.

     Me again, coming back to look at the updates that you have added to this fine page since August 13, 2008. I was amazed to read about the first military observation balloon used at the Battle of Fleurus in 1794.

     Très intéressant les miroirs au mercure! Et je suis d'accord pour les fontaines, nous avons choisi d'éviter les foules du weekend alors nous avons manqué ce spectacle, pourtant quelques heures par jour suffiraient à faire plaisir aux visiteurs...
