french hours of operation...

so monday was a BEAUTIFUL fall day in gay paris... idyllic, one might say. so i figured i'd head up to versailles again to check out the jeff koons exhibition. which i was tooootally stoked about. this is the sidewalk on the way to versailles. pretty freaking adorable, i know.
there weren't very many people and i wasn't sure where to go to get a ticket, as the first time i had a museum pass and got to skip the gigantic line.
a statue in the garden:
i guess the lack of people milling about should have told me something, but i just figured it was past tourist season...
the chateau as seen from the garden:
mais non, the place was freakin' CLOSED!!! duuuhhhh erin. nearly every museum is closed on monday!!! grrrrr... of course, i even looked up the times, but somehow missed the whole "closed on monday" part.
this is me shooting myself in the head bc i am extremely annoyed...
so i just got to take two really nice, long train rides for a little walk in the park. derrrrr...
