Now, Paris part two…the second day was absolutely packed so
I will be giving y’all a tour of the day in pictures with captions.
VERSAILLES!
In this room, which is a football field long, the history of France is depicted in these huge paintings.
The hall of mirrors!
The Garden of Versailles
The beautiful garden paths. Without my map I would've gotten SO lost in here...
We spent most of our time wandering around the gardens, and found a baguette place in a recessed part of the hedges where we stopped to eat. There were so many gardens--it was impossible to see them all with the short amount of time we had, but we saw enough to be awe-inspired.
We found this pretty walk that seemed such a different world than the formal gardens all around.
From the Palace and Gardens at Versailles we continued on to explore more of Paris!
Notre Dame!
The steeple of Notre Dame. Notice the greenish figure...there were several along the rooflines and they were so distinctive, so bright against the dark areas of the Cathedral behind.
And the famous gargoyles!
After Notre Dame, we walked over the Seine River nearby.
This view ended the second day!
