Hello Mr.Steves. This video has been shot so well. The palaces featured here are pointers to the opulence, luxury and prosperity that were the hallmark of pre revolution France. Megalomania at its peak. The serene lakes, the cool greenery and the sprawling palace grounds backed by your intelligent and informative commentary make this vlog superlative. Being a French teacher it has always been my dream to travel to France. Your videos will surely guide me just like the way your Italy vlogs inspired me before I travelled to that country last year. Thank you Mr. Steves.

I visited Versailles in 1985. My youngest brother and I were touring around the Palace and go around a corner and run into one of his classmates from high school. The amazing thing was that this high school was in Billings, Montana. The possibility of this happening was 1 because it happened. The probability of it happening was infinitesimal miniscule. I should have a lottery ticket.

I also want to thank you for the new uploads, I've been a fan since childhood and I love that the Rick Steve's team made the videos available on KZbin.The sites in "Paris Side-Trips" and the Château's in "France’s Loire: Château Country" have been added to my visitor's list!

Dear sir you made the greatest choice. As a french man I would choice the same places. In Versailles when the fountain are running there is some baroque music in every "bosquet". It is so lovely. From time to time there is what we call the night party. It is a party with some fire works as it was done for the sun king on the 17th century. Chartres cathedral is always so beautiful. Don't miss the stain glass "Notre dame de la belle verrière" it is the most beautiful of the cathedral. This place is well-known for its bleu stain glasses we call this colour "le bleu de Chartres" until now nobody could remake a such bleu colour

Also I have a degree in Divinity. So actually the floors are crosses as are the windows and the mirrors are cross in designs. And the ceiling it was not someone who decided just to paint people. Now if you are clairvoyant you can ask God to separate the clouds to see the people and to show heaven which is drawn on your show 6:43 parts of the Hall of Records is shown on the ceiling there. Yes you can see that all the time if you look up after praying a lot with angels around you. In France they just painted what they saw. All the churches had similar paintings...... the ceilings are not someone's imaginations they are real just seen by painters who work for Kings and Queens. All of the white and the Gold it to make the Building more Divine for its purpose on earth as in Heaven to rule with a lot better advisers.... was the plan people don't know that it was only told to the inside groups. As you see the mirrors are also doors.......

+Charles And what are you going to replace it with , some boring Socialist Soviet type President , the Socialist Brits from the Labor Party decided to hand Britain over to whoever and pretty well the Brits have no rights in their own country , in time it will be a country who belongs to nobody and that nobody cares about , I witnessed the anarchy of the Communist Unions in the 70's when Britain was brought to its knees , bankrupt and an outright class war , from the worlds greatest and richest and most influential power to begging for money from the International monetary fund , that's the price your nation paid by letting the rabble get control , I can only say thank the good lord that Britain set up the empire and in the modern era we had the Anglo sphere or we would have descended into another dark age with Hitler and the Soviet Union , the Brits should go all out to preserve every bit of there culture along with all the Europeans as there is nothing like it in the world , Europe is a marvel for all the world .
