When asked, a Versailles guard standing at the front gate, responded, "Tuesday is the worst day; all the museums in Paris are closed. The tourists all come to Versailles instead."While exiting Versailles after a 15-minute visit, I asked the guard a question, "When is the best day to visit Versailles to avoid the crowds?". I had thought for sure Wednesday would be the worst day since many school children are off half the day.
