Versailles architecture

Breathtaking!

More.

Original door!

Fabulous exterior.

Palace of Versailles- seeing red

Powerful use of color! 

Still dramatic after leaving the hall of mirrors.

Family portrait among some original artwork. 

Lots to admire!

So much storytelling in the murals. 

The wow factor is evident!

And yes, the last three were on the ceilings.

Hall of mirrors-part two

Beauty abounds!

The windows overlook the fabulous lawn and gardens with fountains and statuary. 

I will head out here later. But for now...

Statues inside too!

You can see all of us visitors in the reflection.

Heading into another area.

Goodbye to one beautiful area as we head into another!

Hall of Mirrors - part one

Really here!

It is as fabulous as you hope it will be!

Artwork abounds set off by mirrors and...

...the windows bringing in light!

So much to take in.

Many admirers!

Traveling cakes

Look at how delicate this looks with just a tiny bit of frosting. Nice!

On the train to Versailles, an accordionist plays for the tourists. 'La Vie en Rose', of course.

A street scene from the actual town of Versailles. 

A cake I bought there to enjoy on the way home to Paris. Truly, 'let them eat cake!'
