Is it wrong of me to not love such a cultural touchstone? Let's just say that the huge crowds and the French disdain for efficiency combine in this place to make it rather less than pleasant to tour.

gold gates. sparkly! |
Halls of fancy furnishings, expensive paintings, fabulous tapestry, amid the hordes of people who stop right in front of you to listen to the audio tour. Sadly, the famous hall of mirrors is dingy and many of the mirrors have been vandalized. It was reminiscent of our Loire trip where the stairwells of the fabulous chateaux were defaced with graffiti. We ended up skipping the one part I really wanted to see--the gardens, because we were fed up with the whole experience.
