Versailles

I met some friends at the train station this morning at 9am to take the SNCF to Versailles, where we spent the morning touring the main castle and gardens. Last time I was there, the fountains were off, but this time I got to see them in all their glory, along with 17th and 18th century music playing over the speakers. It really added a lot to the experience. At 1pm the whole group met to go where most tourists don't: le Grand Trianon, le Petit Trianon, and la Domaine de Marie-Antoinette. Her gardens were my favorite. She basically had her own little village and it was just like a painting. The weather was absolutely gorgeous; we couldn't have asked for a nicer day. I spent most of the time at Versailles walking around by myself, which was good because I seemed to be taking a lot of pictures of things that didn't interest other people. The flowers were so impeccable; I took a lot of close-ups of those. Click here to see my photos from Versailles!
