Bah!

This is the main courtyard at Versailles. Notice the sky. It's going to rain any time soon. What a lot of people! And- would you believe it?- this showcase of French culture has only one eatery on site and all it serves is American fizzy pop, cold pizza and pre-packed sandwiches.

The Peruvian tourists would not want that stuff, dear sir!

I wonder if the Americans wanted it either.

I was thinking Versailles would surely have a decent restaurant on site- comparable to those at Tate Modern or Tate Britain or even the modest but not totally rubbish little restaurant we went to at Hever Castle a few weeks back. But, no: the suckage at Versailles is total.

The Americans probably ate it and thought, "oh, god! French food is gross!" [Rolls eyes] I am glad to have been informed. I shall pack a lunch when I go, assuming they haven't done something about it by then!

The alternative would be to walk into town- it's only five minutes down the road- and eat in one of the no doubt very good little restaurants there.

Oh! Well, then!
