Versailles

While in Paris, my sister and I also went to the palace of Versailles.


This is somewhere I've also wanted to visit but never got the chance to on previous trips to Paris. And because I'm an EU citizen under 16 I got to go in for free.


The hall of mirrors was particularly stunning. I really like overly decadent periods of history like pre-revolution France.

The only downside was that it was very crowded and we couldn't go into the gardens without paying €8 because there was some fountain show going on. We didn't bother but the gardens looked really beautiful from what little we saw.
