Paris Diary part 8

Day 10
20°, sunny.

Lily & I woke up early and went to Versailles, which is very easy to get to from the city and a nice place to spend the day.

We saw most of the house in the morning, including the Grand Galerie, the Parade Apartment, the King and Queen's Chambers, Marie Antoinette's Apartment, the Royal Chapel, the Congress Room and the Opéra Royal.

After a nice lunch, we went to the Grand Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet. Even the smaller out of the way cottage was a mansion. The way these royals lived while their people were starving, it's no surprise how they ended up.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
