Today we went to Chateau de Versailles. Sara was especially excited because of her past research on Marie Antionette. The one thing we can bring back from there is how big it was. It is the largest palace I have ever seen. And as if the palace wasn't big enough, the gardens were HUGE! To put it lightly, the walk from the palace to the far side of the garden is at minimum a 30 minute walk. Out past the palace, we walked to the petit Trianon which is a mini-palace that Marie had built to escape hectic court life. There are also some pictures of a town Marie had built so she could play "Simple Country Girl." Here are some pictures we took. I can confidently say Versailles was one of our favorite places so far. Here is the website if you would like to check it out. Click here.

Looks AMAZING! And why do people always take pictures of ducks?
They really stand up not like our ducks back home. That is the reason why. They're weird funny French ducks.
