I enjoyed hearing at seeing history through a French perspective. Being an American, our history lessons are so limited that we remain ignorant. Just listening to another perspective was enlightening and helped me to see the beauty of Versailles along with the tragedy of the opulence when the people of France were in need. I could see courage and passion of an amazing country.

We were greeted immediately and introduced to our guide , Francois. He was an exceptional guide and explained different views of the time and related the pictures to the time they were painted and what was happening at that time. He really made a difference to our tour and made us want to learn so much more about these remarkable lives.

The possibility that it was in Spanish, the girl was French but she spoke Spanish very well and was very entertaining. The bad thing is that there are always so many people.... but we loved it. I had seen that on Tuesdays they did the show of the fountains with music, we were waiting and when we saw that it didn't start we asked and they told us that it was for the weekends, in short, it was very good.
