Hurry to the castle and get back on the road again; is the way to describe a typical visit to Versailles. Tourists are brought in by hundreds, often from Paris, dropped off right in front of the castle and a couple of hours later they are already again seated on their train or bus. I admit it; it is an attractive castle. Yet Versailles has much more to offer because around her  'pièce de résistance ' is a lot going on, and you easily need a whole weekend to fully explore the historic city. I pulled out three full days to delve into the epicenter of the French monarchy and discovered a city where you can enjoy yourself unrestrictedly.  And  above all  Versailles is  full of music: Lully, Rameau and Mozart, to the Beatles and Pink Floyd, they were all here.
