Versailles

The girls had such a tiring day yesterday at the Lourve, this morning called for a slow start. We woke about nine and then caught the train to Versailles. The line to get into the palace was at least 300 people long bit to be fair it took only half an hour or so to get inside. Inside was chaos with hundreds of people wanting to see the same rooms. Just when dad was about to give up, it appeared everyone did and it quietened down.

We saw where the kings and queens of France grew up and from where they often controlled the country. We also got to see lots of their furniture and art work.

 After looking inside the palace, we explored the gardens which had lots of beautiful ponds, some some with waterfalls. There was one pond in which there was a water fountain that squirted water in time with the music.

The girls got to try crepes for the first time - they are just like Nana makes! So again today was a lot of time on our feet walking and everyone is looking forward to tonight's sleep.
