Bonjour!
Although it's now April 5, last Wednesday was our last day in Paris. We took a train to Versailles, the huge palace Louis XIV had built and that Louis XVI lived in with Marie Antoinette. It's so so so so so so so so big. Oh my gosh. The outside has what Sue called rococo on it which is this extravagant gold on all the gates and the outside of the whole building. Inside, you can walk through a bunch of the rooms, but there were so many people it was hard to see a lot, and most of the things were replicated. It was still amazing to see how grand this palace was. The overarching question I had though was what if you had to pee and the bathroom was really far away? Anyway, the outside was so beautiful. There's a huge garden with fountains and really nicely trimmed hedges and it was lovely to sit and draw the palace. Also Ben bought a selfie stick at Versailles and Maeve said that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married there so that's cool. After that we had our last night in Paris where we packed and took in the city one last time.
This is my last blog post, now Lucie's doing them for the next week, which is already partway over, but that's okay.
Au revoir,
