Versailles Vibrations.

I took a day trip to the Chateau of Versailles, with another student, who was fluent in French. Versailles is only ten kilometres south-west of Paris, so it was still early morning when we got out at the Versailles Left Bank station. There was much to see in limited time. We walked through the gateway, Mansard's grille there, and some statues still. I felt peaceful, strolling in the Gardens hand-in hand. 'It's a pity we missed the two Trianons, she said. 'That's for another day', I replied as we went back to the station in the twilight, in love with France and each other, for a while. - 26-29 August,2017.
