Paris, Day 7










Today we went The Palace of Versailles. We were unlucky because it was shut , so we didn't get to go inside the palace. We only got to go in the gardens and to their holiday homes, which were on the palace grounds. The palace grounds are 800 hectares, but they used to be 7800 hectares. The garden was huge, there was 99 water fountains and even more ponds. In the gardens I also saw the kings holiday home. And we saw a house that was made just for Marie Antoinette in the garden. The palace was huge it was much bigger then Buckingham Palace!!!
