VERSAILLE PALACE

in #photography7 years ago

Dear Steemians,

This is my first post, I just subscibed and join Steemit community. I am a fan of traveling and taking pictures.

To start with, I will write about "Le château de Versaille". I am French and always be facinated by history and architecture. I hope this article will help you to enjoy the most of this incredible piece of art and enormous gardens.

I visisted the palace 2 times, once in Summer and once in Winter.

Get there early qnd buy online tickets with times(20€ to access to the whole Versailles domain, Versailles Palace, Marie Antoinette estate, Trianon and Versailles gardens, audio guide (available in 11 languages ).
You will be jumping the very long waiting line, as it can be for more than an hour with normal tickets! Start by the palace around 9h, there is less people and you will enjoy a lot more (the amount of people can be overwelming)!

Remember that now everyone has to go throught security check, like at the airport, so it is long and they will check your bag. Tripods are not allowed to be used in the palace or the garden.
You'll be amazed by the size of the Palace of Versailles and the sheer amount there is to see. Even if you just stick to the above highlights, you'll want to give yourself ample time. On the other hand, if you intend to see everything, you may even consider spreading your visit over more than one day trip.

Avoid Mondays
When planning your visit to the Palace of Versailles, keep in mind that the palace is closed on Mondays. On every other day, the visiting hours are from 9:00am to 5:30pm, and from April until October, they're extended to 6:30pm.

Fountain Show
The Palace of Versailles' musical fountain shows are quite simply awe-inspiring. They're held from April until October, on every weekend and public holiday from 11:00am to 12:00pm and again from 3:30pm to 5:00pm. It's absolutely worth scheduling your visit for the fountain shows.

Very nice! Welcome and keep up the good job!

Most photo shoots are a beautiful dress, a natural location, and poses.

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.
