Sunday was another stinking hot day (35 degrees) and we decided to go out to the palace of Versailles. When you read the tourist literature about Versailles it makes it clear that the palace is one of the most visited sites in France. As soon as you get there you quickly realise that they weren't kidding! There were people EVERYWHERE! So much so that we decided to skip going through the buildings and to just walk around the park in the hot sunshine.

The grounds of Versailles are truly amazing!!! You can understand why the French peasants revolted and lopped the heads of their monarchy off during the French Revolution.
