So weather has been very.. european... lately. No sun and rain is threatening at every moment! However, in the City of Love what better to do than take a little backpack through time at amazing museums to keep me out of the cold and wet. So Thursday afternoon I infiltrated the French Art and Architecture's class trip to the Louvre. Gorgeous! Tre tre magnific! We stayed there until the French kicked us out at closing time! A trip I intend on making a few more times before leaving Paris. Then after enjoying some midnight magic in Paris, I set off to a town called Issy to the Chateau Versailles. A gorgeous palace that is frozen in time (although the area around it clearly has moved forward!) My mouth managed to stay open the entire time in pure awe. Hopefully, my photos will do it justice but I highly doubt anything could live up to the detail and beauty in that palace!
