We decided to spend Tuesday at Versailles, and it surprisingly let us down a bit. It was a beautiful day which we got to enjoy while standing in the ticket line for almost 2 hours. Then we wanted to go into the palace but that line was just as long so we headed into the gardens.
Now this may be an obvious statement, but Versailles is HUGE. We knew that going in, but we had no idea how expansive it actually is.
The Marie Antoinette apartments drew our interest, but the walk back to her cottages and the Trionon palaces took 40 minutes. Not kidding. But it was lush, green, and smelled like fresh flowers all around you so the walk, while tiring, was beautiful.
The we finally made it back and into the palace.
Each room was so extravagant, we couldn't imagine someone actually living there - although I'd be willing to try!
For our final day we headed first to Notre Dame. The interior was incredible and there was a choir practicing inside which was fun to listen to.
It was another perfect day outside so we didn't stay in long though.
We also hit the bookstore Shakespeare and Company and the Musee d'Orsay. The museum was full of Impressionism (our favorite) so we were in heaven.
We ended the day with a delicious meal, and a walk along the Seine. It feels unreal that we're leaving already. What will we do without our daily pastries and the metro?!
We shall see you all entirely too soon ;)
