From Versailles with Love

Versailles

By: bound2explore         May 24, 2016

From the time I read the story about Marie Antoinette and Louis the XVI I promised myself to witness the glorious time of French monarchy or at least what have left of it. The Versailles palace was built during the reign of Louis the XIV that housed the French government, most notably its royalty. Versailles palace can be reached by a train plus a few blocks of walking, so you really don’t need to book a tour. Besides, the train ride gives you a chance to sneak peek into French countryside. I boarded a train from Paris to Versailles and walked from the train station to the gate of Versailles palace. Tip: buy the ticket ahead of time at the store next to the train station when you arrive to avoid the queue at the entrance. Continue reading →
