Versailles and around Paris
1/11/18 Spent the morning having breakfast at the hotel and walking around the cute cobblestone streets around the hotel. About 2 blocks away was Rue Le Cler where lots of open air markets, boutiques, and restaurants. I especially loved the patisseries (bakeries). Rue Le Cler Back at the hotel, we decided Day 2 would be a trip to Versailles, the palace of King Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette. All I can say is WOW! We called our taxi (we made friends with Christopher, our driver, yesterday), and drove for about 40 minutes southwest of Paris to the palace. Christopher said he was staying in that area and would be near when we finished--to just call him. All I can say is WOW! The gates were all gold.
