The next day we packed up our stuff and got in our rental car and headed to Versailles. We took some pics as we were leaving Normandy. We decided we wanted to go to the Chateau de Versailles. We heard it was pretty there. It took us about 3 hours to get there. The whole way we jammed out to an American radio station! I thought that was fun, but weird at the same time. We finally found a parking spot at the Palace and parked our car. We went up to the gate and the guards told us that it was closed on Mondays! We were so mad! Luckily we were still able to take pics of the outside of the Palace and go around the back and look at their beautiful gardens. It was super windy and rainy so we got our shots and headed back to Paris so we could catch our train. We left in plenty of time to catch the train since the palace was closed. It was a good thing we did, because the stupid GPS took us to 3 WRONG gas stations! Haha...It was absolutely ridiculous trying to drive in Paris! There are NO LANES and of course we didn't understand the road signs! The scariest place to drive was the roundabout at Arc De Triomphe. It was a big free for all. In Paris there are so many cars and pedestrians it's crazy. It took us like 2 hours to get like 2 miles! It is by far worse than Los Angeles traffic. We were not able to find the place where we were suppose to return our rental car, but luckily I took another look at our contract and found the address. (It was a different place than where we rented it from.) We were so glad that we paid extra money to have a GPS. It would have been impossible to find our way around France! We finally made it after having to park it in a whole different parking garage because the normal one was full. We made it back "home" to London and we had a great trip.
Our Bed and Breakfast and our rental car in St. Mere Eglise.
I didn't know John was taking my pic right here, hence the surprised look.
This little church is famous in Normandy because during World War II a parachute landed on top and they still have it there today as a memorial.
The GPS that was a life saver!
This is what their road signs look like! We wanted a picture of this one because we went there.
This is in Versailles.
They had beautiful tree lined streets with Fall colored leaves.
The golden gates to the Palace.
This picture cracks me up! It was so windy my umbrella flipped inside out!
The back of the Palace.
The grounds were huge!
This was before we were about to enter the death round about.
That is the End of France. Oh how I will miss you. I loved you enough to go there twice!
