Versailles by lostaussie
Versailles, an imposing structure with superb grounds, is a marvel to visit. A stroll through the gardens (at least a part of them) is compulsory to get a feel for the enormity of the place. We chose this option, as opposed to going inside, and loved it. The immaculate symmetry of the place is amazing and even though we happened to pick a day where the fountains had a day off, it was still a worthy trip. In saying that though, if time is very limited, due to the geographical distance from the other sites, I would leave this for another visit.If one has the time, I was quite keen to hire a canoe to traverse the huge ?dam? for want of a better word.
A tour of the interior would also have been nice, though due to the enormity of the place, only a fragment is open to the public
