Versailles

Bonsoir! We spent most of our day at Versailles - the palace of the Sun King (Louis XIV).  The students were impressed and perhaps a bit overwhelmed with the enormity and opulence of it all. I could describe every detail, but who wants to read all that?! Instead, I am going to just let the photos do the talking for today...enjoy!
