My niece and her friend visited us for the weekend. A relaxed, happy time spend with them. Young people. They woke up late, played monopoly and spend time on computers. : )
On Saturday we did the tourist thing and went to Château de Versailles. A lovely sunshine day, but only 5 degrees. So, geared with gloves and scarves we went.
The buildings are beautiful, gold, marble, and more. The gardens are so big you can call them parks. A four hour walk and we didn’t see all of the gardens. We will have to go back in summer. I am sure it will be covered with flowers then and the fountains will be giving their displays.
And to quote my young niece, Marleen: “This is the chick who lived here.” : )
(aka Marie Antoinette…)
The chick who live here! LOL
Thank you for the photos. They are very inspiring.
I also smiled about that. Keep well.
It did look very cold in these photos! I enjoyed my own trip to Versailles in 2010: https://picasaweb.google.com/sarahbowieme/Europe2010Versailles?authuser=0&feat=directlink
I looked at your photo’s Sarah. I can now see how green the gardens can be. I’m going again in summer! We also couldn’t go upstairs in the main building.
