Euro14 Day 43: Versailles
Temperature: Min 14°C; Max 27°C. Weather: Sunny and hot. Today we headed out of Paris to the Château de Versailles. Eskil enjoyed getting there as it involved tummel trains and a big train. We thought we were rather clever as…

Temperature: Min 18°C; Max 29°C. Weather: Sunny and hot. We were renting a small flat through AirBnB during our stay in Paris. It was small but had everything we needed. Having a based was nice and helped us feel at…

Temperature: Min 18°C; Max 30°C. Weather: Sunny and hot. For our first full day in Paris, we decided to give ourselves a little bit of a rest and relax to just potter around. (Ha!) First we took one of my…
