Well, we continue our vacation in France, today we went to the palace of Versailles. Our expectations were very high (not a good thing to do) and we were disapointed.
Versailles is a very beautiful place but the administration of that place does not have a clue about what it means to provide custumers an unforgettable experience.
First, we faced the waiting lines. You have to wait in line to buy the ticket, once you have the ticket, then you go to a different place to wait in another line to enter the place, then you wait in another line to get the audioguides........ And only then you can finally begin the tour. Why can not one get the ticket, enter the place and get the audioguide at the same place??????, this will reduce the waiting time of all customers.
Once we were in we were heavily disturbed by some pieces of contemporary art from Jeff Koons, what a distateful presentation. Can you imagine one of the rooms of the palace of Versailles, full of XVII art and in the middle of the room a Hoover vacuum cleaner displayed as the main attraction of the room???
One thing I can recommend, should you decide to go to Versailles, enjoy the garden and save the 16 euros of the ticket for a coffee after you are done wandering around in the garden. Do not waste your time in Versailles, at least until they get rid of those horrible pieces of art.
