The last attraction of our trip to France was the Palace of Versailles. I think I enjoyed it, but I’m not really sure as I felt like cattle moving between the different colored rooms with their high ceilings and fabric colored walls.
At least you managed to get inside. When we were people were in the queue for several hours. We gave up and spent the time wandering in the magnificent gardens.
Oh no! I quit right now! I can view the images online. There are certainly many interesting places in the area where you can feel the atmosphere of the place.
I remember studying that portrait as an undergrad fine arts major. What I remember most about the palace thought was a hallway with lots and lots of windows so that sunlight illuminated in a brilliant way. So sad about the lines- that would make it difficult to enjoy with so many people around-- and mostly just to say they were there not to take in its significance.
