Day 6

Last full day in Paris! And boy oh boy did we pack it in! First stop was the Louvre, which I had been looking forward to since we got to Paris. And it WAS AWESOME! We saw the Mona Lisa, mummy tombs, and Napolean's apartments but there was no way we could see it all in such a short time. That place is huge, over 35,000 works of art.










It used to be a palace before Versaille was built, which was our next stop of the day. But before we got to Versaille, we had a quick delicious French lunch.



There was a huge line outside, so we had to wait in the rain for about a half hour, but Versaille was so worth it. We took the audio tour of the main house,



saw the famous Hall of Mirrors, the Kings bedroom, and the Queens, and then explored the gardens.







We found a little hidden Brasserie in the gardens where we ordered chocolate crepes, and they were delicious! Then we took our own little tour of Marie Antoinette's private estates. It must have been closed, because there weren't many people around. While looking for a bathroom, we "accidently" stumbled upon an entrance to what looked like the stable of the Petite Triannon, and looked through some windows to see inside the house. That was exciting! Then we realized how late it was, and headed back on our way to our last stop, Notre Dame.



We didn't make it in time for the tour, but the lighting was just perfect for pictures. By now we had walked a million miles, and taken a trillion subways, so we headed home for some rest. Tomorrow... TOULON!!
