On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles Palace. As my grandma wrote in her journal, they visited the Palace on the three year anniversary of the signing. She does not have any photographs of the Palace - either they weren't allowed to take them, or did not have a camera that could take indoor photos well. I've noticed every photograph of this journey is outdoors.
She did buy dozens of postcards from various places on this trip, including the Palace of Versailles. Below I've added a couple of postcard images. This is the cover of the postcard book:
Here is a nice arial view (in watercolor) of the Palace:
