We stayed with John and Ingrid, friends from St. Paul who moved to Paris almost two years ago, in their cute little house in Chaville near Versailles, west of the center of Paris. Duncan, a tenth grader, was our tour guide and interpreter extraordinaire both at the Palace of Versailles and the next day in Paris.
Driving for a day and half through Spain and France - beautiful coastal cities including Biarritz, France on the Atlantic coast near the border, beautiful forests, the city of Bordeaux with rolling hills and vineyards for hundreds of miles and lots of rain. We made it to Paris in time to visit nearby Versailles and the summer palace built for Louis XIV. It was over the top gorgeous, including the incredible Hall of Mirrors which they began building in 1678.
