Au Revoir, Paris!
Time to leave behind the lights of the city to travel across the channel back to Scotland and over to the island of Iona...time to get back to work!
Versailles
A sunny day in February, looking from the palace of Versailles over frozen fountains to the far end of the property. Forty minutes of walking to the Estate of Marie Antoinette.
Estate of Marie-Antoinette
At the far end of the property of Versailles you reach the Estate of Marie Antoinette with the summer house, delightful gardens and a little hamlet of thatched cottages built in 1783 for the Queen, with a working farm, dairy and water mill.
Paris
Illuminated golden dome at Les Invalides (inspired by St. Peter's in Rome) above Napoleon's tomb.
Saint Chapelle
A stunning Gothic chapel on Ile de la Cite built to house the precious relics (including the crown of thorns) bought by Louis IX. The price of the relics was actually far more than the cost to build this impressive chapel.
