Goodbye - Au revoir

JULY 30

After we completed our visit at the Chateau de Versaille yesterday, we then drove to our hotel at the airport in the afternoon and returned the car. This way we only needed to get ourselves to the airport terminal which is a 4 minutes walk from the hotel.

Today our short walk to the airport terminal proceeded without any problem. The flight back without any event. We are now recovering from our vacation at home.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Au revoir. :-)

Chateau de Versaille - walk & Chateau

JULY 29

Our supposed 10 minutes walk (according to the hotel receptionist) from our hotel just north-east of the Chateau. It took an hour of walk (no doddling). At the time I took the picture we had already walked for 25 minutes. Check out the remaining walk. We entered the grounds from the back of the gardens.


Finally see the Chateau with maximum camera zoom.


Somehow the fields need to be kept.


Finally the front of the Chateau. We were early enough, check out the lack of people.







Busy with people. 1 hour after our arrival.





The hall of mirrors.



Backyard pools.
