The Palace & Gardens of Versailles, Paris

View of the Garden During my brief stay at Paris, I wanted to visit Versailles palace, I went there but could not visit the palace :( the queue was far too long, However, I did manage to see the beautiful gardens around the Versailles palace, the landscaped and perfectly maintained gardens were amazingly beautiful and there were spectacular sculptures that added to the beauty of the garden. The garden dates back to 1661 and took 40 years to complete. King Louis XIV assigned the task of designing and layout of  the garden to André Le Nôtre. The Versailles palace and garden happens to be a world heritage site.Some pictures from my trip.   Versailles  Palace Versailles  Palace Versailles  Palace entrance Versailles  Graden Versailles Gardens

Eiffel Tower by the day and Night

Eiffel Tower at night Paris has been on my dream destination list for as long as I remember. And  it was such a wonderful experience to be able to make it to Paris, finally!  Although, I soon realized during my short trip to Paris that there is so much to see in Paris alone, that a three day trip will not do justice:(  I will need to go back to Paris again.  I did manage to see some of the places that I have been wanting to, and Eiffel tower was one of those places of course.  I loved Paris.  This was my first solo travel to Europe and it was so wonderful!  The very thought of travelling and seeing new places ...keeps me going:)  Eiffel tower Eiffel Paris Eiffel at night View of Paris from Eiffel Tower Night view of Paris
