These are all out of order but when I try moving stuff around I end up losing pictures and get frustrated so we are going with what I have!
My request for the trip was a needlework shop. The only one I found listed was Sajou in Versailles and we just happened to be going to Versailles so...
The tiny sign in the window - that's Sajou and that's the only signage. Your tap on the window and they will meet you at the side door.
Fun fact - many businesses close from noon until 2:00 for lunch. We hit it during that time frame so we went for lunch then returned.
The lady is super sweet and does speak English - she did have to ask us fast talkers to slow down a bit. It's a tiny place but packed with goodies. I could have come home with much more than I did but I had limited luggage space so I had to restrain myself!
I knew I wanted a pair of scissors and chose this small pair.
Love them!
The piece with scissors on it is actually a dish towel but I haven't decided what I am going to do with it yet. The front piece is cotton fabric. I will probably make a project bag with that. Eventually.
We actually stopped in Versailles on the way to our second destination. We ran out of time to look for it the day before because the Palace is HUGE. The store is actually just across the street from the palace.
The following pictures are actually from the first day in Versailles. Some are just random pics taken on our way to the Palace along with some pictures from the palace grounds. We didn't make it inside - we didn't even see all the outside. It's huge and a maze. They have maps, thankfully. They do rent golf carts but you have to be there really early to get them and they are limited. If you want to see all of it, I recommend getting there early and getting a cart! It was also hot, especially in the sun. I don't know if the inside has a/c since we didn't have time for touring the inside.
The back side of the palace
They were spiffing up the place getting ready for the Olympics.
It's a maze and confusing - even with the map.
Random street on the way to the palace - lots of narrow streets with cars parked making them even smaller! (told you they were out of order)
Front side of the palace - I think there is more than one entrance.
Another picture from the back side - it was fenced off and they were preparing for something. Don't know if it was connected to the Olympics or what.
Snack time - daddy liked the truck! Said grandpa had one like it.
We took a bus over and then walked to the palace.
An outdoor market on the way to the palace.
Had to stop and get daddy a cap - he forgot his!
More to come.
Between the 4 of us there are almost 1200 pictures!
