Last night

What a way to end the trip, spending my last evening having a picnic and enjoying a spectacular fountains and fireworks show at the chateau Versailles gardens.

Au revoir Paris!

Le Reminet

Delicious three course lunch at Le Reminet.




Salad with fried cheese crepe. Sea bass on a bed of carrots, turnip and zucchini. Rich chocolate cake for dessert. Yes, it had to be eaten with a spoon.

Invalides

Napoleon Bonaparte's oversized sarcophagus is located under the big golden dome.

In the same compound is the military museum which has a rich collection of swords, armor, guns, military uniforms, and related artifacts.
