Bonjour Paris & Versailles - Part Un!

With my entire maternal side of the family in London last week, we decided to zip across the Channel to Paris & Versailles for the weekend.  It was fantastic to see the City of Lights with my nearest and dearest and enjoy the lavish and feminine palace at Versailles.  Can’t wait for everyone to come back soon!
