Our Visit to Versaille
In February we went to Paris
and we visited the palace of Versaille.
It was a cold morning at the beginning
of February. We stepped of the bus to fell the cold air in
our faces. We stumbled through the cold air along the cobble
road. We were moaning about the cold and stumbling around as
we hadn't had a good nights sleep, with being on the bus for
ages. We came to the top of the hill and stopped and our
mouths fell open with shock at how big the palace was, and
how beautiful the statues were around it.
The minute we steeped into the
long corridors filled with history with were thrown back in
time, back to when the women wore long elegant dresses, back
to the day men were handsome and proud, back to the time
when there was disorder all over France, back to the French
revolution.
We visited the garden which
were packed with so much beauty that it was amazing.
There were long flower beds that went on out of sight, lakes
surrounded by statues of lions and warriors that protected
the waters.
We walked down the long
corridors that the king of France had once done himself. We
saw the grand paintings of him and his family hanging on the
walls, in a frame of gold.
We learnt about the history
that had gone on there and the peoplewho had lived there.
