Summary

Hello everyone!

Ever been to Versailles?

I headed out to the chateau to explore the gardens on bike, to walk through the castle on a semi-private visit, and stayed around for the fireworks show. 

Check it out!

The episode was brought to you by Fat Tire Tours. Book the same trip I did right here, but be sure to add the code word earful at the checkout for a ten percent discount.f

The music in the background is (rather fittingly) called Invitation to the Castle Ball by Doug Maxwell.
