Paris update - Friday

The three of us had a really big day today! We went to the Palace of Versailles which is enormous and belonged to Louis XIV, king of France built in 1661. It was incredible! Lots of enormous paintings, sculptures, furnishings, lots of marble, gilded bronze and gold along with the history of France. The grounds were vast and we also toured Marie Antoinette's home and surrounding area. It was fun but we are now exhausted from all the walking. It is on the outskirts of town so we took the Metro to the train to get there and didn't get back until almost 8pm. Took lots of pictures but will post them later on the flickr site. Paris is absolutely incredible!
