Versailles




I've done Versailles several times but this time it was with a guide on our Friday tour group.  It is freezing cold outside so it was a very good idea to have an indoor tour!  -4 degrees.

The tour was interesting and very good.  There is a temporary exhibition inside the Chateau at the moment by an American artist called Jeff Koons.  Very Very strange to see "pop" art in the chateau of Versailles to say the least.  Michael Jackson and giant balloon dogs......

The hall of mirrors is very impressive.  Especially when you think that mirrors were so difficult to make and hugely expensive at that time.
