Their home happens to be conveniently located near the Palace of Versailles, which was on our list of places to see. My husband had already been to Versailles and was really hoping I’d get to see the inside of the palace, but since there was a line of people that was at least a few hours wait when we arrived, we decided to tour the gardens instead (which still took all morning because the grounds are huge!)

I love layered looks, though, so I think this ended up being better than I originally planned. Palace of Versailles Paris France, travel blogger, what to see in Paris FranceThis shows part of the palace facing the gardens (unfortunately way too enormous to be entirely captured with our camera lens!)Ann Taylor khaki trench coat, trench coat with popped collar, cream lace pencil skirt outfit, layered spring outfit with trench coatBrahmin 'Carrie' crossbody bag linen melbourne, Ann Taylor khaki trench coatThis textured bag from Brahmin completed my neutral outfit and fit right in with the elegant garden setting. Crossbody styles are the best for days when I’ll be doing lots of walking and sightseeing.Gardens of Versailles, what to see in Paris France, travel bloggerAs you can tell, there is no shortage of opulence in the gardens of Versailles–I can’t even remember how many fountains we saw! As a wine lover, one of my favorite statues was Bacchus surrounded by grapes (top right).
