It was a bit of a day of disappointments. We hopped on the bus and headed to Versailles. The workers there had decided to strike and the Palace was closed. We got EF on the phone and they started searching for alternatives but not much luck. In the mean time Versailles decided to open the gardens so we spent a lovely 1 1/2 hours wandering the park-like area.
The strike delay put the rest of the schedule into chaos. We headed to the St. Michel area and gave the kids some time for lunch and to explore. Then to Notre Dame with it's extraordinary gothic architecture and stained glass windows.
Dinner tonight was flammekuche. It's a French dish from the Alsatian region. It's a very thin bread crust with a fromage blanc sauce and toppings. Kind of like a French pizza. Some kids ate it up and others couldn't take the change.....
Final stop was Montparnasse. It is the tallest structure in Paris and a quick elevator ride to the top provides amazing views of the city. It was a late night but worth it!
