Yesterday, after two days of rainy weather, the sun finally decided to come out again and grace us with its presence... So I decided to get myself out of the center of Paris and enjoy the outdoors...
And what better place to do that than Versailles! Oh my, what an unbelievable place it is. In design school we studied the interior architecture of this castle, and I thought it was high time I got out there to see it with my own eyes.
The castle is truly stunning. I don't understand how anybody could have lived here though... it's huge and it would have taken half an hour just to get from one end of the house to the other! But they did live here... kings and queens, their children and their pets...
I must say the gardens of the castle are even more spectacular. The grounds of the estate are immaculate, and so incredibly beautiful. I wish Dan had been there with me... we could have brought a picnic lunch, some wine, french cheese, a baguette, and enjoyed an absolutely gorgeous day in the park.
Here are some pictures... but make sure to check out House&Hound on Monday... I'm saving the best picture for last!
