Entry No. 11: Versailles
Before I gush about the splendor of Versailles, I think I should just say that if you're planning a honeymoon or trip to any city or region in France, stop worrying whether you've chosen the perfect spot. You have and you will love it. I cannot get enough of this land ... it's beautiful, romantic, charming, real, opulent and primitive, all at the same time. It intrigues me to no end. If you have the chance to visit Versailles, do. Do. Do. We spent two nights in the city of Versailles. Our bed and breakfast was two short blocks from the palace. Beautiful city, incredible palace.
A local {I'm assuming here} artist transformed the crosswalks of Versailles into Picasso-esque works of art. My French friend translated many for me and they all seemed to have sayings of peace and love.
There is a rather substantial enclave in the city devoted to antiques. It was fun to window shop and marvel at the fantastic objects, trinkets and art for sale.
I really loved the sidewalk art ... if anyone knows if this artist has a website, please share! I'd love to learn more about him/her. ;o)
My absolute faaaaaavorite part of Versailles .... Marie Antoinette's hameau {or hamlet} ... absolutely incredible.
And no visit to France would be complete without some mind-blowingly beautiful macarons and eclairs. ;o)
