Description

Join Us in France Travel Podcast Today on Join Us in France we take a day-trip from Paris to Versailles and visit the Château. This symbol of the absolute monarchy has always inspired both admiration and resentment and we are sure it will not leave you indifferent either. One thing is for sure: it is stately. As a matter of fact, the whole city of Versailles is stately in many ways: wide avenues, statues, grand buildings. Elyse gives us some historical background, we discuss why you should consider going, and why maybe you should skip it too. Then there's the question of the lines which can be formidable at Versailles and some tips on what you can do to make it more bearable.  Should you take the time to explore the grounds or just be in and out of the château? These are all questions we tackle in today's episode. Enjoy!
