Versailles



We have Versailles Palace planned for today.  It is about a 45 minute train ride on the outskirts of Paris so we thought we would spend a bit of time out there to fill the day.  We got the Metro in to the city then had to transfer to one of the main trains out of town, lucky we had a friendly Parisienne to consult or we could have ended up in Berlin maybe!!  Made it out there and it was a 20 minute walk up to the palace.
Beautiful palace and equally magnificent gardens.  Wandered around for a few hours, went in to the town area surrounding the palace to have a late lunch before heading home.

Nice fountain, just no water

Ornate ceilings

Hall of mirrors - full of tourists
