I enjoyed seeing the back side of the Palace of Versailles. The guide spoke slowly and in easy-to-understand English, so even a Japanese with an intermediate level of English could understand. It was difficult to find the meeting place, and it would have been easier to understand if there was a picture of the entrance of the building. The meeting place is on the first floor of the building.
