In reply to Therie. Thank you Therie! I quite possibly underestimated exactly how busy it would be. In Australia, a long wait would be 15 minutes! We never get queues like that!

Your photos are so lovely and Versailles looks marvelous, but that crowd is a little disappointing. I actually haven’t heard from a traveler who’s been to Versailles and didn’t encounter a huge crowd like that.

In reply to CSH. Sometimes I wonder the same thing! I plan to be back in France in April next year, so I will keep Montparnasse in mind for then! Thank you!

Great blog and good description! I wonder how you’ve the time to write this all.
Next time you visit Paris try to visit the Tour Montparnasse (https://www.tourmontparnasse56.com/de/). It’s easy to visit not to crowded and you got the better view because you see the Eifel-Tower,too.
Paris in summer is magnificent. You can dance at the banks of the Seine, Tango and Salsa. Or just watch the people dancing and enjoy the music.

At many of the popular rides you will find an area allocated to turnstile type machines that issue special tickets that enable you to come
back to the ride at a later time and by following the special Fastpass entrance
will enable you to walk virtually straight onto the ride.
The last place to visit would be the Chateau of
Chantilly. Worth mentioning is the fun nautical theme, which can be quite fun especially for children.

In reply to Carol Rice. Hmmm, we had croissants, we had coffee, we watched the world go by, but not all three at once!

Great blog and photos.
Sorry you were underwhelmed with Paris. I have only been in the South of France … Nice Provence area. Did you actually have time to sit at a table eating a Croissant dunked in Coffee and Watch the world go by ?? Think that would be first on my list 🙂

In reply to LC. Most of those nobles were pretty gross! In fact, I think it is still the same today! In the first day we twice saw someone peeing on a wall in public!

I’ve been to Paris a couple of times and feel quite similarly to you. There is an awful lot do see and do there, at least. Going in the winter time meant the crowds were a bit easier to deal with… not by much. I remember reading somewhere that the nobles used to piss on the wall in Versailles, which takes the glamour away just a bit!
