Makes Louvre like a garage
Because of the royal atmosphere and the richness of the French history.

Learned A Lot
I liked taking the guided tour around the Palace. I learned a lot about "Royal Life" in Versailles. Had a lot of fun. It was an excellent side trip outside of Paris. Anyone of any age would enjoy it, but infants and toddlers would have to be kept under a watchful eye so they wouldn't touch fragile objects.

Better than anything in Paris
The Palace of Versailles was my absolute favorite thing to see in Europe (I've been to Italy and Switzerland too). It was nice to see the countryside and get away from all the craziness and noise that Paris has. There are so many rooms and they are all decorated with gold and paintings.

Worth the time
I felt this to be a very big part of my trip to France, though there is not alot to see, it's a very big place where you can spend a few hours and enjoy the history. Spend time in the gardens and have a French hot dog they are very good. Remember to buy a museum pass, they come in handy if your going to several museums, and you get in faster, my wait was less then 3 minutes. Go and enjoy this small little hunting lodge.

don't recommended
Too crowded and expensive. You need to pay to get in different parts of the palace. There's not much to see. There are no descriptions about their display at all. Do your research well if you do go. I would rather spend the time visiting louve. It is away from the city. Unless you have 3 days or more, don't waste time in Versailles. It may not be that bad, but other places in Paris are too good compare to Versailles.

I want to go back!
I liked this place because the history lived so long and vivid. One thing I did not like was I had to wait so long to get in.
