Versailles

We visited the Castle of Versailles near Paris.  Versailles was once the home to the Kings and Queens of France and was where Louis and Marie Antoinette lived before the French Revolution.  The Castle is enormous and very luxurious.  The rooms are beautiful, the furniture is still there and the paintings are on the roof and all on the walls as well.

The Castle is very famous, it has a big room called the room of mirrors and this was where the peace treaty after WWI was signed.  The room is beautiful it has windows on one side and mirrors on the other and lots of gold and chandeliers.

The gardens are beautiful too.  They are huge and decorative.  At the bottom is a lake where you can hire rowboats and row up and down. you can hire bikes to ride around the gardens and a golf buggy to ride around in.

We had a picnic in the gardens and then had a waffle with nutella on it and a hot chocolate.  It was really cold but it was sunny and we had a really good time.
