The Grounds at Versaille

We walked the grounds and hardly knew which way to look first - there was so much to see. It boggles the mind to imagine the price of groundskeeping at this place! One problem, though, the surface we had to walk on was a dusty rock chip, used a lot in Paris too. It was white and powdery, and stuck to your shoes and pant legs. Marti tried walking along the very edge of grass (not in the sculptured grass), but a monitor asked her to only use the chipped rock walkways. She was not pleased because her black shoes and pants were a mess.
