Paris, France-Day 1

Notre Dame
Outside at a French Cafe

Inside the Palace of Versailles



Today we took a trip to the Palace of Versailles. This was the home of the flamboyant Loius XIV in 1682 and Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in 1789. It is France’s most visited chateau. After exploring the palace’s interior we were in awe of the 250-acre gardens surrounding the palace.  For lunch we ate at an authentic French cafe. Then we walked over to the Cathedral of NNotre Dame.  We walked along the River Seine in the late afternoon.  
For evening entertainment we were able to see the famous Moulin Rouge. :) The Moulin Rouge has been the most famous cabaret in the world since 1889 thanks to its French Cancan. We started off with dinner at our tables while lounge singers entertained us. Then it was time for the big show!! The concept of the show is feathers, rhinestones, sequins, fabulous settings and original music. What a great way to end our night in Paris!!!
