A Day In The Life of Marie Antoinette

Today we had the morning free so a few of us went to Marche D'Aligre, a traditional Sunday Market. It was absolutely amazing! All of the local farmers were selling their home grown produce for a very reasonable prices as well as antique goods that portrayed chic Parisian style. We then took a day trip to Versailles, the magnificent palace that was home to Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Here is my day in pictures because I think the photographs are the best way to portray the beautiful landscapes we were ale to see. Enjoy Versailles!
