Disneyland Paris Resort Pictures
The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.

  • Just before noon we headed to the Gardens of Versailles. We saw a tram pulling up and decided instead to walk it so we could explore at our own pace.
  • Plus tehre was a line for the train/tram.
  • They claimed there was free wi-fi so you could use the mobile app. I tried a couple of times and nothing seemed to work so I gave up and went device free.
  • A better picture of the small train/tram.
  • Looking to the right.. I believe this is toward the North Parterre. We opted not to walk that way.
  • I will put captions for ones that I can match up on the map and others like this that I am unsure of I will leave unlabeled. If anyone wants to send me captions feel free.
  • Looking back at the main palace
  • This gives a better idea of the scale.
  • The ground was mostly this dirt/sandy walkway.. with the wind this made for some little dust storms.
  • Looking out toward the Green Carpet and Grand Canal beyond it.
  • There was a visiting exhibit on the green carpet.. more on that later.
  • The Grand Canal
  • Latona Fountain and Parterre
  • A video clip look around. I was not very good with video today so this is the only one from Versailles.
  • Getting closer to that large sculpture.
  • Looking back..
  • To the right.
  • Again an idea for scale. Look at the security car. This is infront of the Apollo Baths Grove
  • We did not venture in there..
  • The large sculpture of Anish Kapoor was vandalized less than a month ago and they were still restoring it. This is that large piece on the green carpet.
  • You can see what I am assuming is the temporary cover over the graffiti.
  • The security car we saw earlier.
  • There were some signs but not many as you walked the gardens.
  • The green carpet.
  • Looking into the groves.
  • We reached the edge of the grand canal
  • The Apollo Fountain
  • Looking back.
  • A group of artists at work.
  • Some of the groves.
  • A map. The palace is the beige area at the bottom. We are the red circle near the top and where we are going is off the map to the top..
  • A look around.
  • Some dining options. It was coming up on 12:30 and we had snacked so no one was hungry yet.
  • We took the path less taken.
  • The rest of the group was convinced I had them lost in the forest of France...
  • But we did find other tourists so knew we were heading the right direction.
  • Eventually came to the Grand Trianon and the edge of the Grand Canal.
  • Looking back.
  • The Grand Trianon on the hill.
  • Walked around to the front entrance.
  • If anyone is curious as to which rooms these are I can try to piece it together.. if not here are some of the rooms of the left wing.
  • Believe this is the Boudoir of the Empress
  • The former bedroom of Louis XIV, the bedroom of the empress Marie-Louise
  • The Lords Antechamber (I think)
  • The gardens as we walk from the left wing to the right wing.
  • The Round Salon
  • The Emperors Family Drawing Room
  • The Music Room
  • Cool Salon
  • Malachite Salon
  • The Emperors Topographical Office
  • Cotelle Gallery
  • Heading outside.
  • Our next destinations.
  • The French Pavilion
  • The Petit Trianon in the distance
  • The gates near the Petit Trianon
  • Looking back.
  • A quick look at the gardens before heading inside.
  • Starting the tour on the ground floor.
  • The Grand staircase
  • Looking out from inside
  • I think this is the first Antechamber on the upper floor.
  • The Grand Dining Room
  • Salon De Compagnie
  • Queens Bedroom
  • The view out the window
  • After visiting the Petit Trianon it was on through the garden.
  • The Temple of Love
  • Our trail kept going...
  • We eventually came to the Queens Hamlet.
  • Marlborough Tower with the Dairy next to it.
  • Boudoir
  • Mill
  • Queens House
  • A closer look at the Mill
  • Walking back toward the Queens House
  • Not a lot of landscaping around the house.
  • Warming Room I think.
  • The vineyard.
  • The Farm
  • There were chickens running around the vineyard.
  • A closer look at the farm.
  • Looking back you can see the top of the palace in the distance. We had walked a good distance to get here. The guide map says the direct route is 1.5KM we went further since we took the scenic route.
  • A French Chicken on the run.
  • This road leads back to the Grand Canal.
  • We instead took this one that cut through some fields and was a more direct route back.
  • These little dogs decided to bark at the sheep. It raised its head and the dogs went running behind their owners.
  • Looking back.
  • At this point we left the estate grounds and walked through the city of Versailles to return to the train station and bypass the big hill to the main palace.
  • Ahh this clears it up.. we are almost there.
  • In the distance on the hill is the palace.. so we knew we were going the right direction.. that is the road we walked up this morning.
  • Found the train and then transferred to the RER A line. Disney is the end of the end of the line and easy to spot on the station list.
  • Passing by a random station on the way. The train ride was not too scenic.
  • Arrived back at the Disney station at 5:16pm. After this headed back to the hotel then out to dinner and to the park which is in part 3.
