It was a lovely stay

Ordering tickets was simple. The organisation to enter Chateau was good. Website said bags had to be deposited but not the case.
Long walk to Grand Canal and the 2 Trianon. Hire a buggy is best option. More buggies and more frequent Petit Trains and better signage on access to these would help.
