Visiting Paris on the August bank holiday weekend means two things - no Parisians in Paris, and long queues at the tourist sites, so it's different to other times of year. A definite highlight was the bike ride around the vast grounds of Versailles. The queues for the palace were way too much for us to bear, but a stroll through the gardens, past the fountains and down to the bike hire and we were away...
We rode along beautiful country lanes, past lovely ponds and Marie Antoinette's digs...
I'm the little speck you can see
The palace in the background
Bulli surveys the beautifully laid out Orangerie
The fountains dance to classical music
Meanwhile, back in the city - Place Madeleine
Sacre Coeur watches over the quiet city
