    Kilted around Versailles Palace

    On our way to Normandy, we stopped in Versailles…

    Here are a few shots.


    One of the main gate:




    Look at the size of this marble vase. Ok, Milady Chrystel isn’t that tall… but still !




    We like to take pictures of Louise next to her favorite cherub when we visit Versailles.




    And here is dad showing off his Robertson H M.




    Don”t they just fit in perfectly well ?




    Time for a chocolate sorbet !




    A close up on a very delicate task…




    My favorite Versailles joke: Hercules’ lion head skin for a full mask sporran !




    Here you go ! Tomorrow were in Paris, Then back to Versailles. I hope you enjoyed the trip.





    Best,

    Robert

    I absolutely enjoyed the trip, and yes you all fit in so perfectly it is a shame you can't move in tomorrow.
