Vesaille

After leaving Monet's garden we headed toward Paris to spend the night and visit the palace of Versaille.

We had already had three very busy and exhausting days. The children were such great travellers. They were impressed by the grandeur and immensity of the palace. It is great to be able to tell them the history of Marie Antoinette (it took a few tellings for them to understand her complexities) and then show them where she lived. Definitely what we've enjoyed most about our travels in Europe.

While walking through the gardens, we met a gardener! He cut us each a rose, which brought out Henry's chivalrous side.
