Day 2 of our Paris adventure . . . . and what an adventure
it was! With a café in hand, we began our day on the Metro. Unfortunately, when changing trains, a
friend of ours was pick pocketed. The smooth criminals got away with her money,
credit cards and ID. The Paris Police were very kind and courteous and we were
thankful for the blessing of our safety. We then continued our journey to the
Versailles Chateau, home to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. We were overwhelmed
by the aesthetics of this grand Chateau. We also were amazed by the way the
King and Queen combined art and fashion throughout the estate. The most amazing
experience was the Petit Trianon and the Queens Hamlet - all apart of Marie
Antoinette Estate. We found the environmental beauty and attention to detail in
architectural design to be a moving and peaceful experience.
Our evening ended with an authentic meal at a local
restaurant near the Eiffel Tower.
The sparkling Tower, coupled with roses from a charming French monsieur,
made for a beautiful end to our day.
