Exploring the gardens whether on foot or minitrain

1.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Luggage and bags: I would suggest a little backpack where you can put personal stuff such as wallet, camera, wallet, mini lunch, sunblock and do not forget the water.


Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: fa comfortable walking shoes, since you will walk pretty much even if you take the mini train to the different parts of the estate. Also a light weight rain and windproof jacket

Miscellaneous: Why not bring a bottle of wine, a roast chicken, some cheese and bread, maybe a little fruit and enjoy lunch on the grounds of the palace.

Photo Equipment: I carried along an analog single-lens reflex camera besides a digital one.
During the trip, I thought it has been operating normally, but when developing the film, after the trip, I found it that even one picture has not been taken.
The film was sent, but there had been a trouble in the shutter. I never knew these things, you know!
Finally, I've lost over 200 shots in Paris and Versailles ...some of those would be truly good...
