Paris - Day 4


Day 4 took us to Versailles.
 We took a train out and arrived as they were opening it.
 It was very cold but we were lucky enough to have purchased a tour of the private King's quarters so we got right in.


 Part of our tour involved the opera house as well.



 This is the hall of mirrors


This is the chapel
And, of course, the King's bed
 
 The grounds were beautiful. We walked through them quickly as it was so cold.


 This is outside the Grand Trianon, one of the smaller palaces around Versailles.

 The Petite Trianon was Marie Antoinette's favorite house.




 Marie Antoinette loved the idea of village life so she had one built on the property.




After exploring Versailles we walked over to the temple site.
It should be done in the next year.
