The museum was extremely crowded, but the guide got us through with ease. He was humorous and made learning history fun. Kept us interested. He was terrific.

State apartments are so opulent and the Hall of Mirrors is exquisite. I wish we had understood better that we could have stayed in the chateau longer to see other parts rather than following the guide outside for a very short explanation of the gardens since our tickets there could have been used later in the day.
