When we went to France last year, we picked up the Paris Museum Pass. We purchased the 2-day pass for 35 euros and saved a lot of money! We went to so many museums in two days, I felt like we were reenacting National Lampoon’s European Vacation.
One of our stops was the Palace of Versailles and I was just listening to an NPR story about how one of the buildings will soon be turned into a luxury hotel. The site is a mansion built in the 1680s to house the offices and home of the king’s treasurers. It will undergo $7 million worth of renovations and is expected to be completed in January 2012. Guests of Hotel de l’Orangerie will have the opportunity to experience a slice of life at Versailles and the views will be priceless. Hopefully one day I’ll make it back to the Palace of Versailles AND stay there!
