You must see Versailles to believe it. It’s got three parts: the chateau, the park and the other park. The castle is about 2 blocks long (IT’S EMENCE!), but it is dwarfed by the MASSIVE gardens located in it’s “back yard” – it takes one hour to walk from the house to the end of the grand canal (I am not exaggerating!). We spent the entire day strolling thru the gardens, learning about King Louis XIV, XV, and XVI, Marie Antoinette, and the Hall of Mirrors. The words ‘shock and awe’ were used by us several times during the day to describe our general feeling for this magnificent landmark. See our pictures of Versailles here.
