Perhaps you remember how I once wrote about my aversion towards Mont St. Michel based on tourism? Versailles has always been a similar case. Although I have visited Paris twice I have never gone. It was always too far away, and lower on my list of priorities. Why go to an enormous, frivolous chateau when there were so many museums and monuments right in front of me? Well, thanks to a free trip with Sweet Briar, I have finally visited this dazzling monument to Baroque France…and I loved it.
