I worked in Versailles years ago on a long term assignment of some sort -- details forgotten -- and hated the city. It's expensive and if you think they treat tourists badly in Paris, just wait til you come here! Going to get lunch in a café or something was a lot of bad service and indifferent quality at a high price.
The RER train is far from the château, also, and you might need a taxi. There is an ordinary city bus from Paris, I think around Sevres or Porte de Saint-Cloud which is okay. That takes you right to the front of the château and the ride takes less than an hour. I am sorry I don't recall its number but it's not hard to look up, and if you need a private guide, I can take you around on a low budget besides my basic fees. It is a joy to see people have extra cash to take back home or buy something really worthwhile, such as a fine meal or some substantial object -- I can arrange the shipping, everything. So going on budget is a great idea here. But even buying a transit ticket, the person or machine will generally quote you the highest price. I just hate that!
An (admittedly annoying) female American tourist rants on about how ugly Versailles is. The hard to please ho also indicates that cheap Neapolitan Wop furniture is far superior to anything she sees inside the palace! LOL

Poor stinkies, they can't help but revel in their own idiocy and arrogance.

I will concede that I feel sorry for the arrogant frog waiter that had to serve this woman food at the cafe. Do you think he spat in her Escargots?

I could not put up with that Yankee bitch. The fucking place is from a different era. If you don't like it, get over it! I don't like it but there's no point ranting about it. It wos considered good taste when they put it up. I would never go there in the first place. There are many other tourist traps to avoid in France: Mont St. Michel for one. I prefer the simple life, like having a drink in the sunshine, and watching the girls go by.
Roll on springtime! Fuck Paris!

Probably did spit in her escargots. I'm always polite to waiters, even the arrogant cunts, having once worked in a very posh restaurant. I once saw a chef with a heavy cold drop a stream of snot into the potatoes he was mashing. Helps bind it if you are making croquets, I suppose.

Early toilets that used flowing water to remove the waste are also found at Skara Brae in Orkney, Scotland, which was occupied from about 3100 B.C. until 2500 B.C. Some of the houses there have a drain running directly beneath them, and some of these had a cubicle over the drain
In 1596 Sir John Harrington invented a flushing lavatory with a cistern.
The first modern public lavatory, with flushing toilets opened in London in 1852.

Edited by lookanlearn (80657) on 2012-02-07 16:30:41 Happy to help.
The Romans built lavatories and promoted them while in the UK 2000 years ago also.
As for Versailles; the decor is not to everyones taste; but everthing looks a little undewhelming when you are jetlagged and on the red blob like the bitch.
Ideas to improve things;-
1. The hall would be nicer with a LIMIT of people (perhaps half of the number there in the film).
2. There should be classical `period music` played in that ballroom to emphasise the era it was designed in? On hi-fi if musicians are costly.
3. Small kids crying is the ignorance of the parents not considering other people feelings. That kid needed a kids play area in a seperate part of the facility. Car keys taken with kid to stop parents driving off without em.
4. Most of the work at Versailles was done on a slave labour basis; but WHITEY doesn`t whine on about that for centuries like fackin niggaz (or Joos [Bible Egypt]).
P.S.
Let me know when you want to hire me to throw buckets of cold water out of a window over unhelpful American bitches.
LnL What happened to Thomas Crapper? in my Komment - he died in 1910
Thomas Crapper (baptised 28 September 1836; died 27 January 1910) was a plumber who founded Thomas Crapper & Co in London. Contrary to widespread misconceptions, Crapper did not invent the flush toilet. He did, however, do much to increase the popularity of the toilet, and developed some important related inventions, such as the ballcock. He was noted for the quality of his products and received several royal warrants.

Huh ?... where did you find that ? Another of your smart-ass assumption ?
Look at the date it was built. Look at the life conditions of the French at that time; if you were not aware; there was so much poverty after that hunting lodge was built the French had a revolution. You have heard of it?
So you want to teach us, Frenchmen, our own history, right? I had the same 'WTF' reaction when reading your post. Now, back up your assertion with a decent link.
