We arrived at at the Palace of Versailles, passed the golden gates and the armed guards…

…only to discover that tickets to the actual palace were completely sold out for today. So, we spent the afternoon wandering the magnificent gardens (which also required tickets).

But first, lunch at one of the restaurants, which turned out to be big plate (and bill), small meal. Fancy and delicious, though.

We bought tickets to the palace for tomorrow, which means another trip back here from our accommodation on the other side of Paris.

Charging:

We looked for a nearby EV charger, which would have also given us free parking, but they were taken. So, we paid about $30 for parking near the front gate. We’ll charge on the way to our accommodation, while having dinner.
