More of Paris

Versilles. The chateau de versilles is 45 minutes outside of the city by train. It is quite large. There is a very extensive garden of fountains and we got to see a fountain show. We walked very far to the estate of Marie Antoinette. There we found a pond and several small buildings that look very much like something from Thomas Kincaid.

What else did I see?
The tomb of Napolean.
The arc de Triumph.
The monument to the Bastille
The Sacré Cour
The Notre Dame

It´s great to be a Student or a Citizen of the EU. In Paris, a lot of the museumes are free to EU citizens between the ages of 18 and 26. Since we have student visas, we are EU residents!

Another fun part of Paris was meeting people in the hostel. I met Americans from Austria, a girl from Portugal, girls from Sweden, and a couple from New Zealand. Paris is very diverse.
