Versailles Photos

The most amazing place I've been in my travels is Versailles. The former summer home of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette (among others), Versailles is a the very definition of extravagence. From the Hall of Mirrors to the unbelievable fountains to Marie Antoinette's larger-than-life bougerois play farm, every moment you spend in Versailles is a complete fairytale. Here are some photos from my favorite places in Versailles.

Marie Antoinette's "cottages", an entire village built for her to play in

One of Marie's "gardens" (tho she never even touched it)

Ah, those photos put me in a good place! Have a great Monday!
