This morning it was; Metro to Metro to train to Versailles. The Metro is VERY busy during rush hour. Lots of jostling and bumping. Keep your hand firmly on your wallet.
Took a self-guided tour of the palace with a semi-useful audio guide, lunch in the Cafe d'Orleans, then ride through some of the nearly one thousand acres of gardens in Le Petit Train de Versailles. A visit to this unbelievable exercise in wretched excess completely explains the French Revolution.
Left feeling decidedly un-Royalist and reversed steps to hotel.
