Henry 14th at age 27
We were out early at least by “An American in Paris” standard. We are headed to the Chateau de Versailles. We headed to the metro and got on the #9 line to Alma-Marceau got off and walked across the Seine on the Pond Alma to the RER C line. CONSTRUCTION! Not knew in Paris so we had to search around to find the temporary entrance to the RER. Success, and we are on the train headed for Versaille Rive Gauche station. It was about a 30-minute ride and a short walk to the palace
Kings Chapple
There was a very long line for the palace, possibly due to the Louver being closed due to staff concerns about the CORVA19 virus, in ant case we got in line which took about 1 hour to get into the palace. Ops! no tickets, we forgot you have to go to the ticket office to purchase tickets, the doesen placed a yellow band around one of our arms and we were off to buy tickets and then back to the head of the line.
While Pat and I recovered from the day Shelley and Stacy headed out to see the Arc de Triomphe de l’Etoile and the Avenue des Champs-Elsees where they stopped for a 21€ chocolate Martini, “oo la la”. They took the bus and made it home so we have nor freed the to travel Paris without detailed instructions.
We had dinner at about 2000 when they returned it consisted of Cod and a big salad, with a traditional baguette and Burre Bodier with smoked salt.
