Day 8: Paris
Gold and Fountains….these words basically describe the decadent wealth the 18th century monarchs of France, as displayed in their beautiful palace, Le Château de Versailles. As the big day approaches, our wedding party grows and today we filled the subways with laughter as we navigated our way to this large estate to gawk at the royal art and frolic by the lakes.

We rented golf carts as it was near impossible to cover much ground on this 2,000+ acre estate

We can’t wait to get a closer look at the Eiffel Tower tomorrow when we ride the elevators to the top!
