    Superb presentation. This is the best overview I’ve seen. The Galerie de Glaces is spectacular from the garden in the evening. 10 out of 10!

    Alain, it was far more enjoyable watching your video of Versailles, than any of the times I have actually gone there... 👍
    Has the new reserving time slots helped with the massive packed crowds?

      Yes, lines on the video were long, but that's because I went there on the first Sunday of a winter month, when entrance is free!😁

    Hard to fathom over 10K people occupied there and over 2300 rooms. I can only imagine how cold rooms must have been during the winter. Even with modern heating it must take thousands of BTU's to heat it. The rooms must leak air to the outside with those windows like a sieve. Surely they took a carriage ride to near where they had to go (room) rather than walk.

      Can you image how many sawyers were required to cut the trees to stoke up the fireplaces, or better yet how many cattle, sheep, & hogs were required to feed the entire household?

    Dazzling place. I went there once but was unable to enter due to, shock surprise, a strike.

      These are very easy to find, just near the palace, in the gardens, close to the Bassin du Midi.
      On Google Maps, check for "ASTEL - Les petits véhicules électriques du château de Versailles"

    Do you by any chance have a video about websites were foreigners can buy/book tickets to various places of interest to avoid queues? Are those huge queues only for tickets or for entering as well? Are there tickets/passes like “all included” for a day or few? Are there “all included” tickets for public transport?
    Thank you!
    We are visiting next week😅😅😅

      No, I've not done this video yet. These lines were long because I went there on the first Sunday of a winter month, when the entrance is free🙂
      You should check the Paris Pass: it might be the solution for you, but I don't know enough yet about that.
      For transport, check my videos about that subject, navigo weekly pass should be your solution.
