Paris: Day 5 - Versailles pt.2
We scooped up our audio tour thingies (that's the official term for them :-) and made our way inside the Chateau, passing through security took next to no time at all - they've really got a smooth system in Paris! We breezed along at every major sight we entered.
Once inside your audio tour thingie gets programmed for the language you need and off you go! There were clearly marked signs denoting the beginning of the tour. We started at the Chapel Royale.
There were two stops for the chapel - the second floor was the first stop, which would be where the King and Royal Family would have been for service, and the 1st floor (where this photo is from) which was for the rest of the Courtiers.
Moving from the Chapel Royale we pass a series of salons in the Grand Aparpartement du Roi or the King's public rooms.
Next up: The Hall of Mirrors & the King's bed chamber.
