Versailles and all its wonders



Beautiful! 

Versailles is a city that started out as the location of the king's hunting lodge, but turned into a castle because the king preferred the location there instead of in Paris. He started adding on until it became incredibly beautiful and majestic!

But, if we're being honest, there were other parts of the palace I preferred. 

Aside from the palace, there is another little castle called the Grand Trianon. I love this castle because it has all the charm of a castle, but is smaller and much more quaint. 




The rooms were so beautiful. Original furnishings in bright bold colors! 

My favorite part of Versailles, had to be Marie Antoinette's Hamlet. 

This beautiful piece of heaven was built to remind of Marie Antoinette of her beloved home, Austria.



I LOVE daisies. They've been one of my favorite flowers since I was little. It was incredibly magical. I've never seen such a beautiful place. I was taking a picture of a daisy when a little butterfly decided to make it picture perfect by landing on it. 





Isn't this just so beautiful? I can understand how Marie Antoinette would love coming here. There's a little path that leads you to all these little houses and in the back there is a little farm with farm animals. 


So, if you are ever going to visit Versailles, please PLEASE do yourself a favor and go see the Hamlet. It was one of my favorite sites to see in France.
