Palace of Versailles

I was very fortunate that my Mom and Dad took me to Paris when I was 16. My week long trip in France opened my eyes to a whole new world and left me with the life-long desire to travel more in Europe. During that trip, we took the train to Versailles so we could tour the Palace...however, we arrived only to find out that we had come on Monday, the one day a week they were closed.

Now --almost eight years later, I returned to Versailles for my tour of the Palace. It was so worth the return trip! I absolutely loved walking through the halls of history and afterall, while I might not look it...I am still a Princess! And what Princess doesnt throughly enjoy being in one of the worlds most beautiful palaces! HAHAHAHA! :)

After another tourist took this picture, she said "do you want to check and see if you look alright?" I laughed and told her that I'm a dirty hippie, taking the photo twice isnt going to change my apperance! LOL



Can you tell I loved this room???? :)
Marie-Antoinette's bedroom
There were many beautiful halls like this one

So happy to have finally come back!

  1. That palace is so ginormous! Its hard to believe that people live/d in places as extravagant as this.
    I would just stare at those chandeliers all day.
    I would not want to mow the lawn or dust!
