Versailles

We spent a day at Versailles, and while there, I attempted to pick up information about the town for one of my students. The most important feature of the town, however, is the chateau and its immense grounds. Only one of the fountains was running (too cold still), but flowers were already beginning to bud, some even to bloom. We waited nearly an hour in line to get tickets, with both of us commenting that the line must be interminable during the spring and summer! February is definitely the time of year to travel. The opulence of the chateau is staggering, but when we visited the Louvre later, we commented that its grandeur was just as amazing.
