This morning we left our hotel in the La Defense area of Paris and took the Metro to Versailles. Versailles is only about 10 miles from Paris so we didn’t go far.
We did have a minor hiccup today on our travels. When we got on the L train we didn’t realize that the line splits and you need to actually make sure you are on a L train for Versailles. Once we realized that our train was stopping at the wrong stops we knew that we were on the wrong train. We got off, caught the next train back to before the split, and then got on the correct train for Versailles!
We got to Versailles with no further problems. Then we walked to our hotel. Our room wasn’t ready so we went to find coffee. We walked through the market then we had coffee and a baked apple with cream brûlée sauce at a little bistro. It was so good that we decided to make a reservation at the restaurant, Au Petit Marquis, for dinner.
We had timed entry tickets for the palace of Versailles for 4:00 so we were there at 4:00 and toured the palace. The scale and opulence of the palace is pretty amazing. The crowds were pretty amazing too. I’m glad we went but I don’t think I would ever come back.
We had a fabulous dinner at Au Petit Marquis.
