Garden view behind Chateau de Versailles (Panoramic)

Chateau de Versailles is one of the beautiful places to visit near Paris. You need to take double decker train on route RER C to reach Versailles. Its nearly one hour journey from the station near Tour de Eiffel (Eiffel Tower). Its a place where Louis XIV was living some time around 1680's. There is a very big garden behind the Chateau. It is such a big garden that you can not see where it ends. You need to hire a vehicle to take a tour of this garden and even that takes a minimum of 2 hours. On week ends there is a musical fountain show which makes you pay for entry in the garden. On other days, it is free. So, best days to visit the Chateau are week days. Personal opinion is to spend more time in the garden than visiting the Chateau which costs you some where around 13 euros.
