Versailles

Versailles is one of the places I'd really wanted to visit since the first time I went to France but I just hadn't made it there yet. Finally on this trip, Thomas and I were able to go together. It was amazing! These pictures really can't capture the scale of the place. It was just so stunning/grand/ornate/gilded...Just fill in any superlative adjective. 
 
 
 
 
 
Hall of Mirrors
 
the King's Chamber. An unbelievable amount of gold in here.

 
Library of Madame Victoire. We love libraries.

 
 
 
Meanwhile, Jamie played with Grammy and Papy on the banks of the Grand Canal

 

On to the Grand Trianon...

 

And the Petit Trianon, part of Marie Antoinette's estate...
 
 

And finally the Queen's Hamlet (possibly our favorite part)...
