Versailles Palace is a must see, is absolutely beautiful! The castle is one of the largest in the world with 700 rooms and more than 2.000 windows, so you definitely can`t see it  in only a few hours!! The Hall of Mirrors designed by Mansart is spectacular as the king put on his most ostenta…

When my dad was young he also made a trip to Europe, longer than mine; and one of the places he always found fascinating was Versailles. And so, Versailles became my next stop :). I woke up very early that day, tried not to wake up my roommates, and start my day as early as possible. I knew Versail…

After a fun ride - these guys were hilarious - we arrived to Versailles. Versailles is a really nice town. Everything looks so lovely! We kept on walking and arrived to the Castle. Unfortunately, we had to split. I was able to take my time, but they had to go back to Paris soon. The line was really…

Château de VersaillesI didn't think I could look at another portrait of King Louis XIV or view another Royal Bedroom.  I was seriously thinking of skipping this tour even if I was really hyped about it coming to France, and well, after watching Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette.  It's Sun…

I had never visited the Chateau de Versailles so had to do something about it! Had only seen it from outside when, as a military conscript, we had practised marching for the 14th of July during an entire week in that locality, and headed to the Champs Elysees to do our show.Unfortunately the day we…

Yes, that's right, we were challenged with seeing as much of Versailles as possible in a fraction of a day.  We basically only had enough time to walk around the grounds of the palace and go for a little boat ride on the lake behind the palace.  I really wish we'd had time to actually tou…

The Versailles Palace was the official residence of the Court of France in the seventeenth century: it symbolized absolute monarchy power and remains todate the symbol of great French architecture. Peter the architect thought I might love Versailles ans I surely did.

Sat 10/21/06 6:07 AM Yay, dream come true, I was zipping through the Paris streets on a motorbike, as a passenger of course. Dali's BF took me sight seeing at night to see the famous city of lights. Saw the Lourve, Bastille, Le Seine River, Notre Dame Church, Le Concorde.  It was l…

After a good night sleep (long yeah, that was the only good to say about that) we decide on going to Versailles, the famous palace with gardens only 20 km away. After a ride through the country -every road we took had road works going, so it took much to long- we found Versailles (Tom-Tom lead us …

Welcomed 2008 from Paris, France.

Our day started by taking a trip to Versailles. The palace built to replace the Louvre. The size of the complex is ridiculous. We first toured the palace, then we toured the grounds again with the help of a Rick Steves podcast. The gardens were a challenging walk, but it was interesting to see …

On our way home from Chartres we made a last stop in Versailles. We didn't visit the city, only the palace of the roi du soleil, Louis Quatorze. I'm sure it must be an amazing place, but after spending so much time in the sober cathedral it felt a little to 'bling bling' to us.   Ver…

When I hear the name of place, Versailles, I always remember a famous Japanese anime "The Rose of Versailles" by Riyoko Ikeda. That anime left a strong impression on me, so I  fully realized  that I' d come to Versailles!

After unraveling a few more clues and nearly being robbed at gunpoint, our dynamic duo decides to visit the house of Lord Teabing, an amicable and wealthy englishman who is an expert on the Holy Grail. While trying to decipher the mystery of the Priory Keystone, they are ambushed by none other than…

Considering we got back to the hotel well past midnight from our Eiffel Tower excursion, we rather tired when our wake-up call came the next morning. We don't know what time, except that it was...early...very early...but once we got some food, we managed to sleep on our morning bus tour. But our to…
