To walk the corridors of Marie Antoinette and be immersed in their lives and a countries history was truly stupendous. Would definitely revisit as there is just so much to take in Wetherspoon it be the house or immense gardens. The scale of Versailles has to be experienced to actually comprehend its magnitude, truly spectacular in architecture and magnificence.

I enjoyed hearing at seeing history through a French perspective. Being an American, our history lessons are so limited that we remain ignorant. Just listening to another perspective was enlightening and helped me to see the beauty of Versailles along with the tragedy of the opulence when the people of France were in need. I could see courage and passion of an amazing country.
