visiting the Palace of Versailles

I think if my tax was being spent on something like the palace of versaille as a private residence I'd want to start a revolution! It was spendid but OTT. Worth visiting though.

Evening on the camp site

Notre Dame

The boats on the Seine were very popular with some people

Hopefully all the boat passengers enjoyed being waved at by Zoe every time we crossed a bridge!

Quiet Paris Picnic area

We needed to find somewhere for a quiet picnic and found this rather charming little place.

Us on the Eiffel Tower

This is us on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower.

On the Eiffel Tower

Eloise and Abby admire the view. The queue was long but the view was good. Zoe really enkjoyed the whole experience of going up in the lift too.

Camping at Versailles

Our first stop in France was at a lovely campsite in Versailles on the outskirts of Paris. The train into Paris took about 20 minutes and the train station was less than 10 minutes walk away.
