The morning was spent at Versailles observing how Louis XIV expanded and developed this former royal hunting lodge into an extremely impressive palace. Then we headed from the palace to a fabulous buffet lunch at the nearby Monuments Café. Still with energy to burn, we headed to the Arc de Triomphe to climb the stairs up to the top for a view over the Champs-Elysées. Then back to Opéra and shopping at Galeries Lafayette ending with a magnificent sunset from the top of the department store on its garden terrace.
