Versailles

On Wednesday, the third day in Paris, we caught a train to Versailles. It was really beautiful. The leaves were changing, and lightly falling to the ground. It was perfect!

Notice how the right side of the building is under construction, and they put up a screen with a picture of Versailles to cover it up. So classy.

Hall of Mirrors!

They started covering up all the statues while we were there. Luckily we caught sight of a few before they got tarped.

So this is Marie Antoinette's personal home out behind Versailles. She had parties here, and apparently was her favorite place.

And this is the creepy weird village she had built for herself so she could feel like a normal milkmaid. There are 6 or 7 different cottages here, all to simulate a real village. She had sheep brought in, and would go there to pick strawberries and pretend she was a normal girl. While the rest of France starved.

I loved loved that we were there in the fall!
