(very) Grand Palace of Versaille...

In the metro, waiting for the train out to Versaille.
My first glimpse of the palace is breath taking...

The lord and master of the "house".

Lots of shiny gilt...

We saw the long line of people waiting to buy tickets, so decided to go for a coffee first.
Good choice.
Coffee and pear tart...
 



Lots of family portraits around the place...

That fire place is huge.
Those logs are actually trees!
Small entrance, one of the bedrooms.

The Hall of Mirrors...

Marie's bedroom.
The piece of furniture in the middle photo was her jewelley cabinet.
No kidding...
Very ornate but beautiful bed canopy.
