@Poem — Yes, the water show at night is expensive. But during the day, the gardens are 7 euro. I should have bought the tickets online too! But because we never queued for long in London, I thought it would be the same in Paris.

@Vagabonde — Je dois visiter l’intérieur une fois… la prochaine peut-être ! je serai mieux organisée cette fois.

@aline — That the local train liking Paris to the suburb. It’s an in-between long distance high-speed trains and the subway basically.

@Soleil — Yes, I felt sorry for the people stuck inside Versailles! I could see them by the windows (all opened because it was like 40C) and it looked painful.

@khengsiong — You should!

@kyh — Next time I’ll go in!

@Yogi — Looking back, it was a good option.

@Linguist-in-Waiting — Was it? I would have queued 30 minutes but no more and it was so hot that day I just didn’t want to waste time.

@Tanya — Ah, so I’m not the only one who was surprised by the French queue! The Gardens were lovely, I wasn’t disappointed.

@micki — Tell me about it! You should have seen the toilet line-up… ridiculous! French are not always organized

That is a gorgeous and magnificent garden! The best of all is not too many people in it, looks so peaceful. Indeed it does need more than just one toilet!

The same thing happened to me and friend when we visited Versailles. We saw that line and said “no way!” But the gardens definitely don’t disappoint, especially since you don’t have to wait to get in. Love your pics, brought back memories.

Oh wow. Three hours for a line? Wow. It’s like that as well when I headed out to see the Statue of Liberty back in August 2007!

I’m not much into lines myself and the Gardens is what I would have done.

One of the must visit royal palaces in the world! In fact, scores of European palaces were modelled after it!

You definitely made the correct choice to not go into the chateau when it’s super crowded. It’s very, very unpleasant to be shoved around by everyone and it makes all the rooms seem very small and cramped. The gardens are so lovely! I’ve only been there in late fall and winter, so it’s nice to see everything in bloom.
