Well , my kind of town ,actually my town even thus moving for job reasons soon, capital of the department of Yvelines, No 78, region of Ile de France, west of Paris, and another world. This is France.
Big enough to be call a Capital of France when constitutional changes are needed per the French Constitution , and small enough to keep that French country flavor of old, things are not the same here as in Paris. Life is easier, slower, friendlier, and the nights ends earlier.
It was the center of royal power for centuries, and it still keeps that royal outlook in life, Paris might be worth a republic, Versailles its worth a kingdom. The Menus Plaisirs was the headquarters of the King’s pleaser, that is the troop that caters to the king amusement and entertainement they were at 22 ave de Paris and as per the photos 19, rue des États Généraux going towards the train station Chantiers.
More photos of the city, and more to come on this page. Enjoy royal Versailles !!!
