Paris Day Four Tuesday Two |
We continued into the chateau through the King's Chamber. The line to get in was over two hours, but it was a nice day. We bought a pass for the whole chateau and gardens, so it was the only line we waited in. After the King's Chamber, we went through the apartments within the chateau. The Hall of Mirrors is one of those rooms. |
Every room had gold guilded furniture and some amazing painting on each wall. |
Just like the Lourve, the ceilings in every room of the chateau had these elaborate paintings. Most were of Louis and his adventures. |
In the middle of the apartment tour was the Hall of Mirrors. This is me at one end... |
Napoleon's coronation painting took up one whole wall at the end of the tour. That's Napoleon crowning his queen w/ the Pope in white. |
The King's Chapel ceiling was one of the best shots in the chateau. Quite a crowd was gathered around here. |
Louis throne room. Of course the paintings and furniture were amazing. |
...and Shlater at the other. |
The gardens at Versailles are incredible. It would have taken another four hours to tour the gardens. Part of the Versailles Passport we bought paid for the tour of the gardens |
We took an audio tour of the King's Chambers and it was well worth it. The guide gave all the detials of each room and important painting. We didn't bother with the audio tour during the apartments. After an early rise and a full day at Versailles, we caught the 20 minute train ride back into Paris. On the way through town, we got off at the Eiffel Tower for our ride to the top. |
