[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reserving the King's Apartments tour at Versailles is an excellent way to avoid the long lines.  This is a guided tour and it is excellent  -- much better than the just the regular unguided tour in super-crowded rooms that are open to everyone.  At only 10 Euros a person (and free for children), it is a must-do.  You have to book this in advance online and report to a different entrance.

[b]And my very favorite thing at Versailles is renting a golf cart to drive around the gardens!  [/b]You can also drive it out to Marie Antoinette's hamlet at the Trianons.  They give you a map and you have to stick to the paths (the cart will turn off automatically if you try to drive onto the grass).  The golf cart plays classical music the whole time, and a GPS-controlled recorded guide "talks" to you about what you are seeing!  It is so much fun, we have done it (and the King's Apartments) twice.

Marie Antoinette is rolling over in her grave.[/quote]

I feel like Marie Antionette would have been the kind of person to rent something to get her around faster.  She almost certainly didn't walk to Le Petit Trianon herself. [/quote]

Golf cart is so déclassé.[/quote]

Haha, after I posted about that, I wondered if I might get flak for being overly nerdy and/or privileged for touring Versailles with kids on two separate trips to Paris (at their request).  Instead, I got mocked for the tackiness of the golf cart.  Never change, DCUM.

Truly, though, the golf cart was very posh, due to its playing of classical music.  :)
