Versailles
Day 2 Morning
We set off to Versailles and reached before 10 AM as planned
The queue was long and we ended up queuing in for tickets then for entry and security...
The palace itself was well worth a visit...
The only foolish thing I ended up doing was buying a ticket for the palace and the gardens....but we really didnt have time for both...so if you have less than 4 hours buy a ticket only for the palace....
In case you are as ignorant as I am -It is one of the world's heritage sites and represent the finest and most accomplished achievement of 17th century French Art!
King Louis XIV installed his court and government there.
We never had time beyond the palace...
There was indeed a lot of crowd not sure if this was a regular weekend phenomenon!
The palace is well worth a visit...and the size and magnitude will surprise any one of modern times!
I am grateful to my cousin who had insisted that we do this if we visit Paris...atleast you have an idea of whats there!
Here is the link to photos
