Paris - Day 1: Palace of Versailles

There were lots more sunflower fields on our way out of Italy:
We got to Paris, checked into our hotel and immediately headed out to see Palace of Versailles. For some strange reason it was rainy and COLD the first day we were there! He we are headed up to the palace:
The golden gates:
We thought we were being crafty by getting our tickets ahead of time online ... guess a few others had the same idea - the wait to get through security was long!!
We look thrilled, huh!

The courtyard in front of the palace:

some of the rooms inside:
an old organ:
a look at the church inside the palace from the lower floor:
**loved** the gardens :)
a view of the church from the upper floor:



the Hall of Mirrors:

looking outside from inside the palace:

some much needed cappuccinos afterwards to warm up and perk up!
We still had a cruise to take that night!
