Au Revoir Paris!

Today I had the day to myself so I saw a few more sights in the area. This morning I went to Versailles. I was surprised to see how close it was to the city. I'm guessing back then it was a ways out but now it's simply part of the suburbs. Overall I wasn't that impressed with it. Not sure what I expected but it was just kind of meh. I think it would have been better had I seen the gardens in the summer. As it was now there weren't many flowers and the tree's leaves were falling off.

After Versailles I headed back into the city and went to Notre Dame. I waited for an hour and a half to go up in the towers but it was well worth the wait. The view from up there was great and it was fun looking at all the different gargoyles.

Since Notre Dame was 400 plus steps total I thought I should continue on with the workout and I made my way towards Sacre Coeur. The Sacre coeur is the highest point in the city and had great views as well. What made the view a little better here was the fact that the sun was starting to come out from the clouds. The steps up to the Dome of the church was only 300 but the walking up to the church from the metro had a be another steep 100 plus steps.

Here are a few of the photos I took today...
