Spectacular French history but too many pushy people. Particularly annoying were the tour guides who pushed their way to the front of the small rooms while a throng of lemmings follow her flag on a stick with their transistor radios transmitting the foreign language of choice. It seems the palace staff could better pace the number of people as they flow through the rooms.

Of note, buy a ticket with an hour of entry before you arrive otherwise you ll be waiting in 2-hour, 500 person line. With your pre-paid ticket go to the left of the massive line at entry point B, show your ticket (we had 10am entry) and you ll blow past the hundreds of tourists waiting in line.

We loved to history of the Palace of Versailles, the beautiful gardens, outer buildings, fountains and even the restaurant was tasty. Fun day but expect moments of annoyance and frustration with your fellow humans/tourists.
