A Postcard from Versailles

Since it’s Throwback Thursday, I thought I’d catch up with some photos that have been sitting around since March from our visit to Versailles.

Everything surrounding our visit to the chateau was a bit crazy: the website wouldn’t let us buy advance tickets, the workers were on strike so there was a delayed open, we got lost driving into town, and there were (of course) huge crowds. Then of course, it was cold + cloudy + too early in the season for any of the gardens to be in bloom or fountains to be functional. But you endure all kinds of crazy for that Hall of Mirrors. And you feel all French + classy in your trench coat while you do it.
