The weather promised to be perfect so we took the train to Versailles.
Here's a tip: buy a 2nd class ticket; it cost about a third of 1st class and you are seated in the upper level and have a great view.
These guys appeared out of nowhere, played a few tunes and then passed the beret and moved on to the next car.
The train makes several stops and the announcements are only in French. Several people in our car got confused and got off too soon. Versailles is the end of the line, so stay on board until you get there.
And after a full day of French royal splendor, what could be more welcome than.....
a TexMex dinner at El Rancho????
As Marie Antoinette was reported to have said,
"Let them eat sopaipillas!"
We had seen a few Starbucks and MacDonalds in Paris, but this place, right next to the Versailles train station really surprised us and made us laugh!
