Paris- VERSAILLES PALACE











After a 4 hour bus ride, we arrived in Paris. It is such a beautiful city and so romantic, no wonder it is called the City of Love. Our first adventure was finding out that our hostel was overbooked and we had to be put in a room that had a twin bed and a full bed, for 5 people to sleep on...not much room at all. But we laughed about it and left the hostel ready to explore PARIS. We took a train to south Paris to see Versailles Palace, where Louis XIV lived. He is known as the Sun King and brought much life back into France with his riegn. The Palace and gardens were absolutely beautiful, full of history, and interesting stories. We took a guided audio tour and learned alot. Our favorite room in the palace was the famous Hall of Mirrors. It was breathtaking.
