Have to agree on the shoe vs. Versailles comment :-) Or give me a stained glass window to meditate in front of for hours and leave me there. The gardens are nice to wander in but a bit neat for my tastes. I'm loving the vicarious tourism. Thanks! Are you headed out to Chartres at all? Last time I was there, they had the floor cleared off to film a documentary on the labyrinth and we were able to walk it. Chicken soup for a medievalist's soul!
