France Day 3: Versailles, Paris

Versailles



I have to say, I hated that they had large display cases [of things unrelated to Versailles] set up through the middle of the Hall of Mirrors. It was impossible to get a good photo of the entire hall without all of the eye sores. Not cool.



Marie-Antoinette's bed. It looks like the bed is professionally lit, but that is all ambient light coming through the windows. And gold.



I was completely overwhelmed. Movies [and photos, I'm afraid] don't do the grounds justice. They seem to go on forever. I couldn't imagine being Louis XIV and owning this - stepping out there alone if I wanted. The space is staggering.








Marie-Antoinette's Estate


Petit Trianon



French Pavilion


The Queen's Theatre and the Belvedere

The Queen's Hamlet

Temple of Love

The Queen's House



I could have stayed there all day. Alas, we needed to get back to Paris to see Notre Dame and Shakespeare & Co before dark.






Ile Saint Louis

Berthillon Glaces et Sorbets







[We need better looking water fountains in the states.]
