On the way to the palace, our tour guide (I can't remember his name, but he looks kinda like Pierce Brosnan so for this blog post I shall be referring to him as such) was talking about the Mansard Roofs that were very popular in the area, and the entire time I was just like, "like the song?" Anyway, so here's a post of Versailles, full of gold, ostentatious furniture, large paintings on ceilings that make you do uncomfortable things with your neck and geometrically symmetrical gardens.
We walked - actually more like hiked - up from the car to the golden gates of the palace and by the time we got there I was wheezing. Pierce Brosnan then directed us to a map of the place that was taller than me and he said, "we are now here", pointing at a tiny red dot a centimeter from the bottom of the map. Okay, so basically I just got breathless walking up his front porch.
Here comes the sun king... The gorgeous Hall of Mirrors
Marie Antoinette's peacock-filled bedroom
I really like this David painting very much. It's the coronation of Napoleon and he's crowning himself #swag
I told you he looks like Pierce Brosnan.
