Spent the afternoon and evening at Versailles. Did the full experience. Saw the royal chambers, went back again for music and dancing inside and the toured the gardens at dusk and stayed late for fireworks over the gardens after dark. Got a little chilly but well worth it. I would recommend the gardens more than inside the palace. This was my second time to the palace though and the first time I had spent time in the gardens so it may have just been that they were new to me. They do have more fountains and hidden groves than I had imagined. It was interesting to see some of them in the daylight and then again after dark. They light them with lasers and there are several fog machines that make this very spooky. It would be an extremely creepy Halloween situation if they wanted to go that route. The army of people required to maintain this then and now is amazing.
These are the same areas shot during daylight and then transformed at night
Everything in the palace is just so over the top. It’s all a little too much.
