The Palace of Versailles

We got an early start this morning and left Broglie. We wanted to arrive at Versailles by 9am to avoid the crowds — it didn’t work, but at least we were there early. It was about a 2 hour wait to just get in. It is a very popular attraction. 

We then realized that we’ve waited longer to ride a roller coaster. We did had fun in line too. And, it was worth the wait. We spent neatly six hours there, which included having lunch. 

The palace itself was impressive. Unfortunately, there were throngs of people which made it a little uncomfortable, but still impressive. 

The gardens though — well, Kristi and Jim do appreciate gardens — they were amazing, even in there pre-spring state. We had lunch at a restaurant in the gardens and continued to walk around. It’s hard to describe how much there is to see. 

We decided to rent some bikes to cover more ground. 

This was our last day. Our flights leave at 10am tomorrow. Because of the time difference we should be home by 11pm.
