Versailles - Outside the Chateau Last Weekend: Lines, Marie Antoinette's little village, rowing on the Canal, and Anish Kapoor sculptures

I think this is not a sculpture, just a great stump near the Petit Trianon ...

In front of the boudoir in Marie Antoinette's Hameau ...

Onions?

The view from our hotel

This was the line to get inside the chateau an hour before it opened. We decided to skip it.

Anish Kapoor's "Dirty Corner" reportedly was vandalized. No sign of that I could see.

Topiary

Rowing on the Canal in the Versailles gardens. I went rowing myself, but in a regular rental rowboat.
