Day Trip - Chateau de Versailles

Sorry for the long absence!  Things have been a little hectic... I will finish with my series of Paris!

Another great day trip is to the Chateau de Versailles.  Spend the day there walking through the estate to discover the grand palaces, the Marie-Antoinette estate, and the beautiful gardens.

Ornate and grand, like many of the historical buildings in France.


Hall of Mirrors - my favorite part of the Chateau.  357 mirrors, gilded bronze capitals, beautiful crystal chandeliers... (images via smarthistory.org)



The grounds...




After a long day at Versailles, head over to the Eiffel Tower and enjoy the view... a sparkling landmark.



Such a gorgeous view of the Eiffel Tower!  I love my dslr :)  Some of the pictures from above are from my first visit to France... you can tell the difference between the quality and color.  The last one was taken with my dslr.  I think it's one of my favorite pictures.
