Advantages: the Palace and town

Disadvantages: refurbishment of hall of mirrors

well i thought the Palace was tres bien! It was a pity that they were renevating the hall of mirrors, but still what a magnificent building! There was, i felt an overload of Baroque decoration in some parts of the palace but that was just my taste. The only thing i would say to potential visitors is that be sure you know which entrance you're supposed to be using, i was standing in line for what felt like a lifetime with the French all pushing past me ( they have no concept of queing!!) Iwould definitely reccomen a visit, but be sure to go in Summer, the palace and the gardens are definitely at thier best then. Enjoy!!

p.s the town is definitely worth a visit too, specially on saturday, market day.

Great - someone else who thinks that the Baroque decoration is an overload. Apart from that, I have to rather agree with the points made below. Welcome to Dooyoo. Duncan

"There was, I felt an overload of Baroque decoration in some parts of the palace but that was just my taste"....I was bemused by this comment - while it may not be to your taste, your comment made me think you rather hoped they might update the decor to suit modern tastes!

It would help your review to say a little about how you get there, how much you might pay, are the tours guided or can you walk around unescorted? It will certainly help your ratings. Would you recommend it to families, how is access for people with limited mobility, how long should one leave for a tour of the Palace/gardens?

Just a few ideas.
