::Charles especially loves chateaux -- can you tell?
::we were grateful for audioguides -- it makes it much more interesting
::have I mentioned that we can always find a place to frolic?
::we liked the gardens best
::that place is huge!
::always lovin' the columns
::classic in the mirror photo
::every time we passed a grate Phin was determined to fill it completely with gravel and he didn't care if we left him there to do it

We left Versailles feeling a little sorry for Marie Antoinette, but with a greater understanding of why, perhaps, they might have been guillotined. I mean, sheesh people! My personal opinion is that poor Marie didn't deserve it as much as Louis IV -- the sins of the fathers...
::we drove home through Paris to see the Arc de Triomphe at night
::and the Eiffel Tower all sparkly for five minutes on the hour
