Today we had an organised trip to Versailles, arriving at 11.45 we had two hours to explore the palace… unsure of why we were actually there having no knowledge on the palace I simply went around photographing anything that caught my eye. However when leaving the palace we all asked about the palace and Morgaine (one of our tutors) gave us a brief history lesson on the palace and taught us about why the rooms were laid out as they were and things such as the king wouldn’t actually sleep in the Kings chamber, he would simply be in there to entertain in his ‘show pyjamas’. Morgaine also informed of basic traditions for aristocracy In the 17th century.
After arriving back at the hotel at 3pm we decided to explore some more so we visited Printemps and Galleries Lafayette where we were amazed by the dome in the centre.
We Then went for dinner at the De La Ville café where we had a social with everyone. We decided it would be a good idea to go to the supermarket, get snacks and wine so we headed back to the hotel for a room party. We got drunk laughed and got told off by hotel staff, who told us our next door neighbours were complaining which was a complete lie as our neighbours were in our room with us!!
