Travel to Europe







Gertrude Stein said "America is my country and Paris is my hometown." Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world - so full of rich history and culture, don't even mention the cheese! I personally find Parisians very pleasant and being in Paris, I automatically sense "Joie de Vivre".

This said, one hour from Paris is Versailles. The summer palace of the royals of the past; it is simply magnificent! The Palais, all the different rooms and all the art works are something to see in one's lifetime. Le Salon De l'Abondance, Le Salon De Venus, La Chappelle Royale and of course La Galerie Des Glaces. It is almost unbelievable that people used to live there. It is such a shame that Louis XIV used only so few of the rooms. The most impressive are the grounds of the state. They are immense and so well cared for. The special arts you can view at La Salle De Bal, La Colonnade and Les Bains D'Apollo among others. I highly recommend it as a destination in one of your travels. It is almost worth losing one's head over it!
