The second day in Paris, we went to Versailles, the City of Gold. It was definitely a stunning estate, but honestly, I expected it to be a little more over the top. I guess with all of the hype surrounding Louis and Marie-Antoinette, the City of Gold, and "let them eat cake," I was expecting this extremely decadent, glittery, over the top palace of gold. And while it was still awe inspiring, it just wasn't as over the top as I had anticipated. But here are a few fun pictures of Versailles...
Before Versailles, we stopped for croissants, the breakfast of champions -

It has all glory of the France -
The Golden Gates of Versailles -
Each room had a set theme color. I thought this pink was very pretty.

I wouldn't mind sleeping in a bed like this -
