Versailles

In a word, ornate. Versailles is amazing in its extravagance, it is crazy. We went Thursday and had a good time. It was busy and the chateau was crowded, but we had a fun looking around. Then we went outside and wandered around the gardens and that was much more pleasant for our tastes. It was beautiful. There was a little hamlet because Marie Antoinette wanted a peasant village built so she could pretend to be a peasant. That was a bit weird but it was neat to walk around and look at it. There was also a little theater and tons of beautiful flowers and plants. We also walked by the canal and around the more controlled gardens and fountains. It was cold and raining off and on, but we managed to see a lot without getting wet, for which we were thankful.
