Versailles is as exquisite as we imagined it to be. During our visit, unfortunately, much of the exterior of the castle was under renovation. We were overwhelmed by the dazzling palaces, magnificent gardens and gilded ceilings.This painted ceiling was one of Minh Chau’s favorites.

Tour Eiffel

After 14 hours of flying, 1 hour by train, 1 hour in the subway and 4 hours of walking, being welcomed by the French oven-baking heatwave, we are finally here at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. Excited but completely exhausted, we gather the last of our strength to give you an update on our trip. It’s a real pleasure to be back here after two years.
