Temple of the Sun King

Formerly ancient archives, now a library

On my 2nd day in Paris, I decided to take the train to Versailles to see the infamous palace there. I had never seen more than a few pictures of it, but nothing I had heard or seen prepared me for my first sight. When I first left the metro station, I just walked around …
