Breathtaking! I just have to convince my hubby to take me there!
ReplyDeleteI had never seen such a great shot of the courtyard before - and, of course, I absolutely love the bedroom. Thanks, amy.
Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI visited Versailles years ago and have wanted to go back ever since. I think I was too young to appreciate it, lol. I still have pics somewhere around here...it certainly was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMs. Lucy: you and me both! I think the only way I can entice hubby is if Pearl Jam is playing a concert there!
ReplyDeleteMichele: you're so lucky! I feel the same way about when I went to Rome. I want to go back very badly to see all that I missed!
These pictures never cease to amaze me. Such opulence!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! You're making it really difficult to plan my next trip across the ocean.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I could lose myself for days in places like this...
ReplyDeleteI have actually been there. It is gorgeous! Thanks for the great post and great pictures!
ReplyDeleteI bet you could just spend DAYS there! Especially in the garden! I love formal gardens :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! The last one really gives perspective about how large it is.
ReplyDeleteWow! The photographs are absolutely wonderful. I really, really want to go there someday and see it with my own eyes.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Versailles is stunning.
