Sun King and Crepes!

Its a beautiful day in Paris! We headed out early, by bus, to Versailles Palace. Two great tour guides took us through the palace's main rooms to see the King and Queen's apartments, the incredible Hall of Mirrors and the gigantic ceiling and wall paintings. In the last two years they have re-guilded the front gates which practically make it glow like the "Sun King"'s palace should! After the tour we headed out the the gardens for free time until dinner back in Paris. The kids split up to various activities including rowing on the Grand Canal, biking through the gardens or visiting Marie Antoinette's hamlet.

Different groups returned from Versailles via the RER train, at various times to see Notre Dame, and wander the streets of Paris. Our meeting place for dinner was in front of Notre Dame. It was great to have everyone together to share their afternoon experiences. Dinner took us to a delicious creperie. We had savory crepes for dinner and dark chocolate crepes for dessert.

Dinner ended at about 7:30pm -- dinner is always early in Paris! So that makes for a great free night in Paris!
