Day 24 – Chateau of Versailles

First full day in Paris and it is sun sun sun, today we are catching the RER to Versailles to see the Chateau of King Louis the XIV. I have bought the tickets yesterday so it is just a matter of catching a train, unfortunately that is not that easy as there are track maintenance and we are sharing an hour for a train.
Finally we are underway and soon arrive at the end of the VICK line, it is a short stroll to the chateau and the sight that greets me is over whelming, the marble and gold leaf detailing is amazing.
We join the line and head inside, once again the detailing and paintings are outstanding, room after room, each one outdoing the next. The size of the buildings and grounds are hugh, a golf cart is a definite must, one should plan 2 days to see things properly.
After 4 hours of wandering the halls and grounds we wander back to the station to catch the train back to Paris and then back to the room for a well eared rest.
