C'est magnifique, mais?.

Advantages: Nice town
Disadvantages: Shame about the palace

...-house/court theatre, would it? The one at Versailles is, needless to say, one of the largest of its kind, able to seat over 700 people in two balconies as well as the stalls, although the precise arrangement could be altered for different occasions with sophisticated machinery. Also, needless to say, the décor is elaborate; although the walls are entirely of wood for its acoustical properties, not a square centimetre is left undecorated in red, green and, of course, gold. Those then are just a few of the more salient interior attractions. There are also the Queen's Suite, both King's and Queen's private apartments, and various galleries, salons and suites of a later era, some of them given over to museums. The history museum, dedicated "à toutes les gloires de la France", is the largest of its kind in the world. Well, it would be, wouldn...

Review of Versailles

One day in Versailles...dangerous

Advantages: Ludic, history, decorations wonderful
Disadvantages: /

...Having visited the castle of Versailles, I am desired to further push my curiosity from this place of.history. I buy the CD-Rom of game which the name is : VERSAILLES, plot at the court of the sun king. I like much this game and I remake it with regular interval with always as much of pleasure. The palate in which you will move that of 1685 reconstituted very well thanks to technology 3D. Graphics are exceptional and give impression which we visit the rooms of the true castle of Versailles. The sound is a music but which with long tired the one but anything prevents you from cutting the music. The music is different according to the place where you are. In this game, all is realized to incite the gamer to visit this historical place later on. The goal of the game is like its name to thwart a plot: to put the hand...

Review of Versailles (PC)

Le roi soleil et moi! (The Sun King and I)

Advantages: A fabulous day out
Disadvantages: One day is not enough, you will be exhausted!

...If you are going to Paris, my advice is forget Disneyland, go to Louisland! Here you can experience what life was like in the days of Louis the XIVth, at least for the well off in society. But this place is huge, so you will either have to be selective in what you see, or perhaps you could spend two days here (with hindsight, this is what we would have done.) In this review, I will tell you about what we saw, and perhaps a bit about what we missed, and offer some advice on how to make the most of the time you have available. I am afraid it might be a bit long, but you can always skip the bits that are not relevant to you, which is why I put headings in. ~Getting there~ ***************** As we were staying in Paris itself, we took a commuter train from gare Montparnasse to get to Versailles. This was relatively inexpensive...

Review of Versailles

Versailles or the city I live in.

Advantages: really beautiful city, not so far from Paris.
Disadvantages: this is a city...

...Hi! This is my first op on this English Ciao website, and this is the reason why I chose to talk about the city I live in –Versailles. Yes, Versailles…in France. I’m a French girl studying the English language and Civilisation, and since I’ve really appreciated reading your opinions for a time, now I’ve taken the decision to join and write my own. So if you notice some grammatical mistakes or vocabulary ones, do not hesitate to tell me, I’ll be delighted to improve myself. Well, in fact I don’t really live in Versailles, but in the city just next to it; my flat is at the borderline between Viroflay and Versailles. Most of my activities take place in Versailles. I’ve been to highschool there, I often go shopping in Versailles, or made sport there, I also love to drive by...

Review of Versailles, Miami

The Versailles of Maribor ? Mais non!

Advantages: The house stands in beautiful grounds, entrance is cheap
Disadvantages: Exhibtion is of limited interest

...of couples marry here. One either side, adjoining rooms in much worse condition can be viewed but only here and there can you see fragments of the old paintings. There was originally a house here during the Renaissance period which, I am told, was almost entirely destroyed by a fire and hence, rebuilt in the Baroque style. The exterior is pretty enough and the interior is worth seeing for the Knights Hall frescoes and the extravagant main staircase made of marble but I wouldn?t recommend a visit to see the museum particularly. I read after our latest visit that the mansion has been described as the ?Versailles of Maribor? ? but I suppose a building doesn?t have to be that grand in Maribor to gain that particular epithet. There are no places in the grounds to get refreshments but the nearby village of Razvanje has several places to get...

Review of Betnava Mansion, Maribor

Yes, I Love Canon Powershot A480 !

Advantages: small, light, great pictures, easy to use, attractive, super cheap
Disadvantages: low battery power, lens-error

...I have always been a fan of Canon digital cameras. Before i use Canon for personal digital camera, i had used Sony for several years until my friend introduced me to Canon IXUS which takes amazing pictures. And since that, i have never gone back to Sony. As we all know Canon digital cameras capture great pictures and very easy to use. When I first found Canon Powershot A480 [the red one] on the internet, i found it very cheap among the other digital cameras. I quickly read the features, of course, im not a professional photographer myself, so I just read that it basic features such as: 1. it is a 10.0-megapixel digital camera 2. it has 3.3x optical zoom and capable to print large size images beautifully 3. DIGIC III Image processor [certifies you take sharp images] 4.15 shooting modes with 12 special scene modes 5.High-quality 2.5-inch...

Review of Canon PowerShot A480

Sony a200 - one of the best budget dslr cameras available.

Advantages: Great battery life, comfortable in the hands, picture quality.
Disadvantages: Flimsy memory card and remote release slot.

...I was looking for a new camera and had a budget of around £300. Compact cameras such as the Panasonic Lumix TZ and the Nikon Coolpix P80 kept coming up, as did the Nikon D40 and the Sony a200. I decided to go for the Sony in the end as it was a name I trusted and I had used a compact Sony in the past. The quality difference between my old compact camera and this camera was incredible. Shots always seem to come out crisp and clear, whatever lighting conditions the picture was taken in. Battery life is great and the percentage meter of battery power remaining is invaluable. The camera fits well in large hands, and all of the buttons and dials on the camera are comfortably positioned. Having only used a compact camera in the past, the sheer number of options took a while to get used to, but once I was familiar with the camera everything...

Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A200K

L.A. All Day

Advantages: Some big tunes
Disadvantages: Too short

...?Life In L.A.? is a 2009 album from The Game and is hosted by DJ LogiKaL (from Ohio). It finds the DJ compiling works from the Compton, LA rapper from through 2009, including some of his most well-known underground tracks that he has recorded on the lead-up ?The R.E.D. Album?. The short mixtape has features from Jaz-O, Ludacris and Ya Boy. 1. ?Game Speaks? (Intro) 2. ?We Stand Alone? You see that things get underway here with a pretty big one as you find that after a few word from the rapper himself, he comes out with a track that has him bringing through the ruthless, raw rhyming style tha the takes from his idols who made up N.W.A to make for what I saw as a strong starter, but one that doesn?t really offer all that much that?s new and so won?t really make that much of an impression. **Four Stars** 3. ?P***y Monster? As it...

The Avery A4 Ofice Guillotine - at the cutting edge

Advantages: A reasonably-priced guillotine for the home or small office.
Disadvantages: The handle is rather heavy for the base.

...It came as something of a surprise at Bookbag Towers to realise that our fledgling business actually needed a guillotine. It wasn't just that we fancied it, or that it was a bit of retail therapy ? we realised that the cheap guillotine that I'd picked up at the craft centre simply wasn't cutting the mustard. It definitely wasn't doing anything very professional to the expensive card with lots of letters after its name. So - time to invest in something that would do a good job. We wanted something sturdy enough to cope with the needs of a small business but we didn't need to invest in the type of machine which you'd find in a large office. We didn't need to spend that sort of money either. Finally we opted for the Avery A4 Office Guillotine which was said to be suitable for the home or the small business. Packaging is...

Build-A-Bear

Advantages: Range of products
Disadvantages: If you have a lot of teddies, once you've been there...

...Buld-A-Bear is the Number 1 for teddy bears across the world. Choose it, stuff it, dress it, take him/her home! More stages...is it worth it? Range Of Products When you enter the Build-A-Bear workshop, you find yourself looking at rows of teddy bears and their clothes. You can buy one of these: Bear Dogs Kitties Hello Kitty Bunnies Often limited offer brands e.g. Holly And Hal Moose Once you have chosen your bear, you go over to a big stuffing machine which has lots of stuffing in it. They often ask you to kiss the bears' "heart" and make a wish. You then dry it off and comb it they way you want the fur on the outside to go. After that, you choose some clothes for your toy, (s)he might want to be a pop singer, a beach lover or just something random. For children under 3, it's reccomended that they have a bear...
