The grounds at Versailles are truly massive.  I think we walked around for 3 hours and there was still so much to see!!  Le domaine de Marie-Antoinette is the little hamlet that she had built for herself for the weekends.  It was charming, but definitely overboard.  I now fully understand how right the French people were to be upset at how Royalty lived compared to the average person.  It is beautiful but so extravagant!
