Versallies was a Royal town and le Chateau de Versailles was the residence of King Henry the IV and a number of King Louies... and of course Marie Antoinette. It is one of the most elaborate and breath taking places ever built. The gardens go for miles and miles and the Chateau is a HUUGE palace. They still hold official ceremonies and even congress meets here occasionally. King Louie the XIV really went nuts when it came to building this place. As people were starving he went building an unbelievably expansive residence. Even the "cottage" at the back is a palace unto its own.
Unfortunately as you can see, there was heaps of construction going on, so that wrecked it a bit.

So nice to see everyone's face amongst all the beautiful buildings. Everyone look well & happy. Can't believe you're actually there in most famouse places.
Yeah Versailles IS awesome. We did a tour there, dunno if you guys did or not. The tour guide just filled us in with the facts of history. Hey, did you see the "YHWH" sign above the pulpit in the chapel? I just happened to spot it by chance. Lemme know OK :)
