Today was all about walking, sweating, and climbing stairs! Versailles is an awe-inspiring place. The gardens were so “tres large” that we were strolling and sweating for over four and a half hours and we didn’t even see them all. Since it was the weekend, they ran the fountains in the garden and that really added to the beauty and grandeur. All we could think about was how hot the women of that time must have been with all those big dresses and petticoats. When we returned from Versailles, we had to take time out to rest in our air-conditioned hotel room. After a brief nap we decided to conquer Sacre Couer. Our one mistake on the metro was NOT taking the elevator at the stop at Montmartre. 142 steps later we realized our mistake. Won’t happen again. After riding the funicular, (Thank God it was running!) we joined the party at the top. It was hard to believe that there were people dancing, playing music, and drinking on the steps of the Basilica. Amazingly, inside the church, it was quiet and reverent. The main alter was lovely and we enjoyed all the side chapels of the saints. Back outside we decided to head home but our growling stomachs made us stop at the Four Seasons Pizza Bistro. It was so delicious!!! Tomorrow is the Louvre! Au Revior from France!
