We spent the day at the Palace of Versailles yesterday. It was a big day that started by getting the metro across town to the train station where we meet our fellow Big Blue Bike Tours group members and out tour leader. The group was made of 10 travellers from Canada, USA and fellow Australians. The group leader was Guillaume a mid twenty year old enthusiastic born and bred parisienne. He was a font of information about Versailles and gave some insights and comparisons with modern French politics and life.
Our bikes were fat tyred gliders – the Harley Davidson of the push bike. We spent a lot of time touring around the extensive gardens and forest surrounding the Palace after we stocked up for lunch at the local market.
We then toured the Palace itself then made our way home to crash exhausted.
