• When we arrived at the train station there was a very loud air raid siren ringing through the town. It was very odd. We followed herds of tourists to find our way to the palace.
• 
• The palace was huge and extravagant. Once home to Marie Antoinette, my Dad informed us that it was the most "elustrious castle in the world".
• 
• There was also an exhibition of @[112145348797051:Jeff Koons] sculptures dotted around the palace. We pretended to pop this one.
• 
• We were given audio guides to lead us around.
• 
• The ceilings were amazing.
• 
• I'm not sure if the sculptures really fitted with the surroundings. It kind of spoilt the image of 16th century France seeing a statue of Michelle Jackson and inflatable lobster in the middle of the room.

• After touring the palace, we went to see the magnificent gardens and to eat our packed lunch of croissants with cream cheese and salmon.
• After lunch we took a train ride around the gardens and to see Marie Antoinette's estate.
