Versailles Gardens

Bonjour!

Today, I went to the Gardens of the Palace of Versailles. It took about an hour and forty minutes to get there from our hotel, but it went fast. I met two women from Canada, one of which now lives in Switzerland, so we spoke for about a half hour.

When we arrived at Versailles, I split up from my group because they went to the Palace, but I wanted to go to the gardens. It was very cloudy, but was still very impressive. I took a tram around the gardens because they were so big - 660 hectacres! It had a huge canal and lots of fountains as well. They were definitely excessive!

After the gardens, I headed back to my hotel to try and do laundry & grab a bite to eat, but everything was closed because it is a Sunday!

Tonight, we leave for an overnight train to Rome. I can't wait to return to my second home!
