Château de Versailles Gardens & Park
The Grand Trianon was a lovely part of the Versaille Castle park. Much less crowded inside and out than the main palace. This is where the king used to come to just enjoy some peace and quiet away from all the people in the main palace. The garden is lovely and the flowers had such a nice smell. #Paris #Versailles #garden
