Ah, Versailles

Grounds at Versailles
|
New chandelier in Hall of Mirrors, which is under renovation.
|
Most of this room is closed, which completely bummed me out.
|
Only a little section of the Hall of Mirrors was open. There is no need to go inside the palace until 2007 when this room will be reopened.
|
They just can't see how cool the room is. I'm so sad.
|
This is a model of something, I don't remember what.
|
Shoot, I wish I could remeber what this is.

Amy in front of the picture of Napoleon crowning Josephine as his Queen.
|
A tour guide next to me is explaining that the cardinal is blessing Napoleon because he was brought out for the ceremony and should do something.
|
Now, in the beautiful gardens at Versailles. If you come, don't go in the palace, just go and see the gardens.
|
The gardens are huge.
|

You can see one of the palm trees in the lower right corner of the picture.

A little yard off to one side of the palace.

Mary over her disappointment of the Hall of Mirrors being closed.
|
Now things get silly because there are just so many statues around.

Now for a look at the back yard.
