Passport to Paris: Versailles

Lundi, 7 octobre.

I just got back from a whirlwind weekend trip to Paris -- two nights, three days, over 600 photos. So as you might imagine, there's simply no way I can fit the whole trip into one (or two!) posts. Instead, I've decided to take my time and share as many photos and fun facts with you as I can. I don't think I'll explain everything chronologically, but I will start with our first stop in Paris: Versailles!



I've been dreaming about visiting Versailles for YEARS and have never stopped whining to my parents about not taking me there when I was little(Hear that noise? That's the ungrateful alert.) Molly had never visited either, so we decided early on that it was going to be a must-do on our trip to Paris. We hopped off the train in Paris and headed straight back out -- on the train bound for Versailles!

We were in love with the area before we even saw the castle -- but how could you NOT when the pastries look this good?! (At Versailles, eating a sandwich within view of the palace is simply the classiest thing one can do.)


After scarfing down our sandwiches, it was time to go! But we didn't get far before having to stop for photos ... because at Versailles, even the front gate is absolutely breathtaking.

 

The great thing about a long line is that it gives you lots of time to take pictures!
