Well, I honestly hadn't seen you site. Well, you seem to be seasoned
guest-parisians, then :)

Yeah, it'll take you a good while in Versailles, that's for sure. A
piece of advice if you want to see the castle from the inside: get
there EARLY. By that I mean about 15 min before they open. Do the
castle interiors before the garden. That reduces your risk of being
trapped between groups of tourists, each with a guide trying to
explain the same stuff simultaneously in 4 different languages.
IMO, the garden is more interresting than the castle itself, but you
should see both while there.

Uhmm....lunch is a bit early - I'll have to leave work before I get
there, unless we're talking about lunch in Versailles (which is not a
good idea either - see previous comment on tourist-groups...) :) I
may be able to make it to Paris around 3-4 PMish.
