Paris: Versailles

Wednesday we woke up early and took a train to Versailles. The great part about this? Wednesday just happened to be the most beautiful day ever. The skies were filled with beautiful puffy clouds, it was nice and warm-- a perfect day to go roam a palace!

This place was huge. Pretty much a version of Hampton Court (palace we visited in Kingston) on steroids. Which, made sense-- palace is ten times as big as Hampton Court, and the crowds were too! We made quick work of the palace (which was being vastly overrun by tourists) and had fun exploring the gardens.

This place was beautiful. We explored each of the buildings on the property, which included the queens quarters (all four separate buildings of them-- from the mini-palaces to the adorable set of hobbit-style houses), the lakes, paths, and gardens. You could spend days here. It was quite lovely! After returning back to Paris, we met up with Sebastien and Emanuel for a tasty dinner by Notre Dame. It was a great way to end a fun stay with them!
