And we thought our gardens were high maintenance…We spent a couple of days touring the vast gardens/parks that surround Paris.  One was only 2 kilometres from where we are staying (Parc St. Cloud).  The scenery and landscape is stunning, and the views of the city from the old chateaus were awesome.

Brianna and Greg’s impressions from our 2 days of walking through historic castle grounds differed slightly from ours:

“Marie Antoinette said ‘Let them eat cake’ –  in Mr. Peabody and Sherman (BW)

“Her head was chopped off and put on a spike in the town centre?  What did she do wrong again?” (GW)

“Who was King Louis the 14th?” (both) “What was the French Revolution about?” (both)

“Where are we again?” (both) “Where is Starbucks?” (BW) “I have no wifi here.” (GW)

We visited Chateau de St. Cloud yesterday, which is 1 km from us (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Château_de_Saint-Cloud)  and Chateux de St. Germain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Château_de_Saint-Germain-en-Laye) today. Interesting history at both places and beautiful weather to walk the grounds in.
