  • Versaille and the Louis XIV castel !

    You have to take a look at the Castel and the gardens but do not leave without taking a walk in the town !!!

    Just near Paris, 18 km, you can take the train from Monparnasse station to 'Versaille Chantier' or the RER C to 'Versaille Rive Gauche'.

     You're a lucky man to live in Paris! I'll be spending a day or so there in December. I can't wait! I've had an infatuation with Paris since I was a child. Lovely pictures!
