Home of French royalty

Versailles gardens
Versailles is outside Paris and is the residence of the least few French kings. It's a beautiful palace with a beautiful garden. Too bad they day I was there, it rained and the wife and me were drenched trying to walk around the gardens.
Marie Antoinette's hamlet
At one corner of the huge, huge garden is a place called the Queen's Hamlet. This was built by the last queen of France, Marie Antoninette. It's a reconstruction of a quaint French village, complete with a mill and even a farm.
Rose in Versailles
Well, since the real Rose of Versailles aka Marie Antoninette, is not around, at least there are a few roses around for me to capture on film.
