We spent a day walking the halls and gardens with my grandmother acting as tour guide. It left a lasting impression. <br /><br />The last time I went I was in my late 20s (that's 20 years ago) and wanted to show the palace to my new wife. We arrived in Versailles during pledge week at the local university. We were stuck in terrible traffic as naked tared and feathered pledges ran around our car. After too much traffic, a quick lunch stop where we were charged $20 for a 5 inch frozen pizza and $5 for each of our our Oranginas, we decided the palace could wait until another day. We drove by the front gates then headed out to the calmer, greener Normandy, and the magic of Mont Saint-Michel.William Widmaierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310989164002388959noreply@blogger.com
