Mindy and Gabrielle pose at the top of the gardens before we started our trek into the vast estate.I promise this will be the last post from Versailles, however in my defence, this place is so incredibly amazing, I just had to share it with everyone. Needless to say, we enjoyed ourselves immensely while touring both the chateau and the surrounding gardens. The gardens, in modern terms I think the term estate might be better, as they cover an area of over 800 hectares. I guess they could be refering to the 210,000 flowers that are planted annually. Either way, the grounds are huge and really need to be seen. Below are a few pictures from our adventure.
Mindy and I pose midway down the grand canal. The chateau behind us is over a kilometer and half away.
Statues, monuments, and fountains are scattered throughout the gardens in little groves. Here is the coliseum grove.
Mindy strikes a pose to show off one of the fifty fountains.
While I prefer to simply relax and try and blend in.
Mindy is equally talented at relaxing as demonstrated above.
That's all from Versailles. If you want to see more, Mindy and Gabrielle suggest you buy a plane ticket and book your tour as soon as possible!
