Last Day in the City of Lights

 Bonjour for the last time in Paris!  Sadly this is the last full day I spent in Paris but it was definitely one to remember.  I started my morning off with a trip to the palace of Versailles.  I first went into the back gardens of the palace to watch the water fountain show.  The water fountains were so beautiful and the gardens themselves were so vast and amazing to see in person.  I can't even imagine how much maintenance goes into keeping grounds so beautiful!  The outside of the palace was just the surface of what I was going to see once I entered.  I have never seen such a beautiful building in my life!  Every room is adorned with gold trimmings and masterful artwork.  Each room was more amazing than the last.  My favorite room by far was their grand ball room.  It over looked the entire grounds and was filled with chandeliers everywhere.  It was absolutely gorgeous.  I am so glad I went to Versailles and would suggest it to anyone traveling to this area.  Travelers note: Go during the weekday when the crowds aren't as bad!  I battled the Saturday crowds which was a little bit of a hassle.  After I finished my tour there I went back into Paris to end my night with a nice dinner and watching the Eiffel Tower light up one last time.  Laying down watching the Eiffel tower light up is something I have always wanted to do and I can tell you that one experience made the whole trip worth while.  It is such a magical site to see in person and I hope that someday I get to come back to view it once again.  This may be the final chapter to my Paris trip but hopefully just until next time.  Au revoir Paris!
