I almost gave it a 3, but the negative is only because the place was ridiculously busy. Almost a 3 hour wait for the security line, even with advance ticket purchase. Then inside many locations felt like you were cattle being shoved through the chute. It made it very difficult to enjoy the true beauty of this place. The gardens and Petite Trianon. You could easily spend a day in the garden. My advice is to find a way to gain quicker entry, even if it costs more.
