Day Trip to Versailles

Last photos from Paris, I promise. I thought I’d share my pictures from our day trip out of the city and down to Versailles. I have mixed emotions about Versailles, the palace and grounds are breath taking and stunning, however I went in August and the it was completely over-run with tourists (like myself). This in it’s self is fine, but lines were really long for everything and I spent most of the day waiting, not exploring. Moan aside, I would totally recommend this as a day trip if you’re in Paris, just don’t go in peak tourist season, like I did. Also, if you’re under 26 and have id you get in free – which is very nice. Here is a selection of photos from the day, we started with the main palace, the gardens, boating on the lake and then out to Marie Antoinette’s estate including the Queen’s Hamlet – which was my favourite thing by far. Also, I have to say thank you my sister for lending me her camera – as you can see I was very snap happy! If anyone is thinking of going to Paris, I have put a few more pictures on my Flickr.
