Week 3: Versailles

We had a great day visiting Versailles a few weeks ago. The gardens were absolutely incredible. I loved the symmetry of it all. The trees and hedges were trimmed perfectly. It was a tad cold, but we loved walking the grounds and seeing the fountains hidden throughout. We also liked the Domaine de Marie-Antoinette. Throughout her little chateau were fashion pieces made by modern designers that drew their inspiration from the era. It was a very interesting exhibit.



Eric had read beforehand that the fountain show in the gardens is fantastic. We went in with high expectations only to be a bit disappointed. You see, we were thinking Bellagio fountains and of course they were nothing of the sort. They were quite beautiful, just not the Bellagio.

Just outside in MA’s garden, we came upon a goose that did not like visitors. It snipped at Boston’s shoes and Eric’s clothing. We thought it was funny. He did not.


We had a great time and Boston loved being given his own headset to listen to. It provided great entertainment for him and allowed us to be able to listen to our own.
