August 29 Chateau Versailles

A train ride on the French railroad (RER) to the city of Versailles and a another walk to the Chateau.  This is a really big and opulent place.  The line just to get through security ( not as tough as TSA), but we kept our shoes on.  Makes Disneyland look like a joke.
Line for security.  This is the front of the castle.

This is just part of the reflecting pool.  Originally there were 1500 fountains, not there is only 300.  If you look closely in the distance, those are 16 foot row boats.

The pool was for the fountain was about 150 feet across

This is only a small sample of the rooms for the kings and queens.

This a building on the chateau's ground about a half a mile from the castle.

We had four different meals and they were delicious.
 Only walked about 10 miles today.
