One of the most popular day trips from Paris for visitors is a trip to the Palace of Versailles. It is a World Heritage Site and one of the greatest achievements in French 17th century art and architecture. The Palace, and surrounding estates, were commissioned by the King of France, Louis XIV. Louis XIV expanded this father’s hunting lodge…
Our most recent visit marked the second time we had been to Paris. The first time, we only spent one night, and two days. Recently, we stayed for five days. It was important to both Scott and I to say that we had really been to Paris – that we had experienced it for long…

One beautiful little café kept coming up on different websites and instagram accounts as a place not-to-be-missed. Scott and…
