C'est magnifique, mais?.

Advantages: Nice town
Disadvantages: Shame about the palace

...sense of the word. Forgive me this introductory diatribe. I'm trying to come to terms with, or at least to articulate, why I deeply dislike Versailles. Not the town of Versailles, which is a pleasant enough suburban sort of place with some good cafés and an excellent market, but the palace. And the more I think about it, the more it comes down to the degree to which the palace, and its grounds, reflect the character of the king who caused it to be built. You may, for all I know, already be aghast at such heresy. Don't all the guidebooks wax lyrical about Versailles' magnificence? Indeed they do. It's unique, a World Heritage Site, one of the greatest of the world's palaces. Two days minimum are needed for a proper visit, insists the Michelin Green Guide. Well, the Miche would say that, wouldn't it, full as it is...

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

The Price is cheap -----------real cheap!

Advantages: Shes nearly finished!
Disadvantages: Chav hag

...and exhibit her body to make money to pay for the kids but I suspect most people don't think that is an acceptable lifestyle to care for a child in high care. Jordan doesn't make her fortune from her looks and sex appeal but her notoriety. She has to be out and contradicting the life of a responsible mother, her alta ego Katie Price, to make her millions. This sells advertising space in lifestyle magazine and the tabloids. Is it any wonder we create 17,000 single teen moms a year if these kids think her lifestyle is real? Of late Jordan has tried to distance herself from the busty 'chav hag' by claiming to be her alta ego Katie Price, her real name, and the name she sells her books under. The silicone incubator test lab is apparently not the real Katie Price, according to Price. She feels she has the right to distance herself from her hideous...

Review of Katie Price

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

Who Is Katie Price?

Advantages: Enjoyable and interesting to read
Disadvantages: None

...Whether you love her or hate her you have to give Katie price due credit. Her sexy alter ego 'Jordan' has become a worldwide name and she is well known for getting exactly what she wants and not holding back on anything. But is she really as carefree and as forward as she makes herself out to be? Being Jordan reveals the truth behind the lies and who Katie price really is. *** My Opinion On... *** Here you will find my opinion on every aspect of the book from the way it is written, how many secrets are revealed and what I now think after reading it, just to give you the best idea of how much you think you'll enjoy it. 1) The Way It Is Written. The book is separated into 34 chapters. Some are only a couple of pages long whereas others are a little bigger. I liked the layout because it was easy to read and work my way...

Review of Being Jordan - Katie Price

The price is right

Advantages: Read the truth about those stories published in the media
Disadvantages: A bit too much information on her past relationships.

...Being a fan of autobiographies and recently joining the online library readitswapit.co.uk I was longing to get hold of this book and find out who the real person is Katie as she claims she really is or is her personality more of Jordan's? Many people talk about Katie Price in the form of Jordan making out how vile she is for being a Glamour model at such a young age and making offensive comments, I on the other hand wanted to know what made Katie Price become someone like Jordan and had her past created this character that appeared to be so confident and bolshy that no man ever dare hurt her?? Until 3 years ago I was ignorant to who Katie Price was and had only heard about her Jordan persona from a then boyfriend who kept going on about this gorgeous blonde he had seen at the Max Power Road show, but even then all I knew was that...

Review of Being Jordan - Katie Price

Well worth the Price!

Advantages: Compulsive and gripping look in to the life of a glamour model
Disadvantages: A bit predictable

...surrounding Paris' Hilton's music career, the doomed Britney movie "Crossroads" and the national joke that has become soapstar-turned-popstars. It is this cynicism that causes many to fall at the first hurdle, but it is true talent that sees the mighty thrive. One of the newest Super Celebrities on the scene is, of course, Jordan, aka Katie Price. Jordan, after becoming one of the most successful glamour models ever, having conquered the reality TV scene and having attempted a small foray in to the world of music, has now moved on to literature and is flexing her muscles as a fully fledged author. Having already written two autobiographies it was really only a matter of time before Jordan moved on to fiction, and in 2006 we were finally presented with the fruits of her labour in the form of a bright pink, impressably thick novel, "Angel...

Sweetly smart! Asda Smart Price Sweetcorn

Advantages: Very reasonably priced, good quality.
Disadvantages: Only from Asda, no ring pull on can.

...Review of Asda Smart Price Sweetcorn. This review covers canned sweetcorn from the Asda economy budget range, known as Smart Price. Along with many other supermarkets budget lines, Asda's Smart Price is a range of lower priced, simply packaged basic items. As I am restricted to a tight budget nowadays, I have been buying more and more products from supermarket own ranges. The Product and Packaging What is it? Self explanatory really, a can containing a net weight of 326g of sweetcorn kernels. The sweetcorn is presented in a plainly labeled, recyclable tin can. The label is basically white, with the Asda Smart Price logo in green and black. The label features a small image of a bowl of bright yellow sweetcorn kernels. Nutritional, cooking and Asda company information is also detailed on the label. The can is not the ring pull...
