Summary

I visited the Palace of Versailles to see what it looked like during the pandemic.

Hoping for empty rooms, I must admit I was a little disappointed to see the crowds, but it was a grand experience as always.

Here's the visit in podcast form, with my wife Lina as a special guest, and with background music from Mozart, Bizet, and Handel. Enjoy!

0:41.2	Trains are possible just for anyone thinking to do it, but you've got to involve a bus
