Paris - Day 6

Pictures

We woke up and got ready for our day. We went to Versailles which is a 30 minute train ride outside of Paris. It's a beautiful castle with amazing gardens. We purchased a guided tour which didn't start until 2pm. So, we spent 3 hours walking around the castle with headphones on, 1 1/2 hours on a tour of the back chamber of the king and queen and then 1/2 hour walking around the gardens. Unfortunately, the flowers are not planted yet, but the mazes of boxwood's and the fountains are so beautiful. It was such an amazing place, but we were exhausted and didn't get home until almost 6pm.
Then, we had to rush to get ready to make our dinner reservation (at Benoit, this famous and fabulous restaurant) across town (i had to carry my high heels in my purse) ; we had a 11:00 pm reservation to see Moulin Rouge, the most famous cabaret since the late 1800's. I didn't realize until right before the show that the women are topless, that was interesting. The show was really fantastic and the head dresses and costumes were amazing, however, we didn't get home until 2pm.
