I genuinely had butterflies of excitement floating around my stomach as we pulled up in the taxi at the Chateau de Versailles. If you're ever in the Paris area, I would seriously suggest going to have a nosey around this building, it's huge, it's lavish and it's really quite impressive. And what's even better is if your from England and between the ages of 18-24 it's freeeee! What's not to love?
Yes, there was even a La Durée boutique hiding out in the wings of the Palace. Beautiful. I also heard it on the grapevine that Kim and Kanye wanted to tie the knot here..but got refused. If that's not a testament to the incredible luxury and dare I say; class of this place - I don't know what is.
The most incredible and famous room is called the 'Hall of Mirrors'. The name sounds pretty impressive already but trust me - it doesn't do it justice. Neither did any of the photos I took of it either, so you'll just have to go and have a look yourself. Which you really really should by the way.
the fotos are beautiful - but it's like somehow, it still doesn't seem real. ;) what a great experience - i could feel your butterflies ;)
