Hey guys!
Day Five of our amazing Paris anniversary trip was actually spent outside of Paris proper. We got up quite early and purchased special train tickets to travel out to the town of Versailles, which is home to the opulent palace of the same name. In addition to being an awe inspiring as a piece of architecture and a symbol of absolute monarchy, its also amazing to look at in terms of the French Revolution its existence helped to inspire.
The complex has a long and storied history. It has been a hunting lodge, the royal residence, several different museums, a hospital for wounded soldiers,
