Yes, I understand Versailles was badly damaged. It would be too sad to go
there now, so we'll see Vaux le Vicomte, which was the inspiration for
Versailles, instead. Actually, the gardens at Vaux le Vicomte sound more
interesting anyway.

Thanks for the tip. Right you are. I just checked and they are only open
on Wednesdays and Sundays from 2-5pm. Fortunately, during the Chelsea show
they have extended hours -- Monday to Friday, noon to 5.
However, that probably means it won't be peaceful and quiet like it was when
Betty visited.
Oh well, crowds and all, I'm sure it will be great. Thanks Marge and Betty
for your advice and good wishes! (And, Betty, if you think of the name of
the garden in the Loire Valley, do let me know!) --Janis
