I'd like to see all 415 photos, but I guess that's asking too much. One of these days I'll get to Europe and see the sights, but until then I really love tagging along on your trips!Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957837048465204452.post-81550386636764968042011-08-04T14:34:37.570+01:002011-08-04T14:34:37.570+01:00What fun Robin, I hope you had a wonderful time on...What fun Robin, I hope you had a wonderful time on your holiday.

I have never been in Paris (not even in France!) and Versailles looks just magnificent! I have seen in TV and books, but it must be something else in real life, thank you so much for sharing these with us!

I have never been to Paris and one day will. I want to see the fountains, now on my list, and the Louvre as well as the Parisian Artist Quarter. My daughter went with the school a few years ago and had a fantastic time, even if she did think that Disneyland was the pinnacle of the trip!! She took lots of photos from the Tour d'Eiffel and they gave me vertigo!! Your photos are amazing. xLaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12980209891214714602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957837048465204452.post-10110157032734558932011-08-02T22:33:25.422+01:002011-08-02T22:33:25.422+01:00Helen, it was all quite breathtaking, apparently a...Helen, it was all quite breathtaking, apparently at one point when the palace was being built there were 20,000 labourers working!

All the beautiful fountains are so breathtaking, and with music playing at the same time...no wonder it was a moving experience. Sometimes it's amazing to see what people can create isn't it, and lovely that you can appreciate it and capture it in your pictures. Very enjoyable - and what a lot of energy you and your hb have too!!
