PARIS: VERSAILLES

We began our seventh day with a visit to the incredibly huge Jardins du Palais de Versailles. We spent there four or five hours and we came back to Paris at 5 pm, where we had a lovely time in a ship-restaurant just in front of Nôtre Dame, in the Sena left bank. I strongly recommend this restaurant, called six-huit.

Star sights of this day in Paris:

• Versailles
• Le Quartier Latin
• La Seine at night

Day 7

Versailles

Here we were about to enter the gardens of the Palais de Versailles

When I saw this overview of the gardens of the Palace of Versailles for the first time I became really astonished. I wouldn't have never imagined that this gardens would be so huge

This canal in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles is almost 2 kilometers long!

Inside the gardens of Versailles you can find little fountains to take a break

Or quiet squares were to sit down and to enjoy the silence

Here this really long canal begins
