Latest Versailles hotel reviews
When we all visit Paris, we all seem to speak about the sights including Versailles. This is more than the Château, there is a thriving community and it is not Parisian!
They have their own tourism department and an energetic, young staff. Professional and good to speak to.

I guess we all agree on this on; there is nothing more exciting than going travelling - exploring another country, experiencing a different culture, travelling around in new ways, sampling the local cuisine and chatting to the local people for a different perspective on life.
However during our travels we learned that there is one certain thing that you should be aware of and prepared for to make sure that the trip is as easy and enjoyable as possible. We always try to see everything once we're there, but this is not always an act of responsible travelling. We always talk to the locals and we know that they have the information about just the right spots to visit and how to undertake them. It will not only enhance your experiences but also avoid any unnecessary hassles.
For me the travel tips I have written down in this section made the most of mine travel experience and I came home in the same happy, healthy state that I left.

OK, maybe not a local custom per se, but with all the people taking photographs of the first room you see inside the palace (the chapel) this must be some type of custom practiced by the LOCAL tourist.
I thought later on in the day about how many hundreds of thousands of pictures must be taken here each day. And this wasn't even the busy season.

The operation of the fountains is very simple. There are valves distributed along the paths of the water supply and a single individual is dispatched on a schedule to open or close the various valves sunk below ground. The device is similar to the one any plumber uses (or the water company) in front of your home for the same effect. He was "late" and we had to leave before the pressure-flow reached the Dragon and Neptune Fountains hence only dry pictures at those places

Seeking good points for making my photos, I went to the road outside the garden, near of Petit Trianon. Unexpectedly I saw this peaceful picture, the grazing sheep. They were quite far but thanks to zoom it's possible to have the peaceful photo :-)
