Versailles

Front gate of the Chateau
We decided to take a trip out to Versailles because we both wanted to go see Marie Antoinette's mansion, the Petit Trianon. It sits about a mile behind the Chateau, and she also built a farm nearby, the Hameau. We went to see this first, which was nice because there was almost nobody else there.

We walked back to the main gardens to go to the palace.

Once back to the chateau, we went inside to tour the rooms.
