{Château de Versailles}

Sometimes the impromptu decisions are the best ones or so I’m learning. I have a tendency to plan everything to minute detail but sometimes it’s nice and certainly a lot less stressful to have no plan at all and simply go where the wind takes you. That’s sort of what happened last Sunday. My working day finished earlier than anticipated so late in the afternoon I found myself quite unexpectedly at Versailles after receiving an impromptu invite from a friend. Ordinarily I would have thought it too late in the day to venture outside of central Paris but this time I didn’t over-think it, I just went with it. And I am so thankful that I did as it turned out to be the most magical of Sunday evenings and the perfect end to my final day in Paris. I was in fact to board a plane that every evening which proved for a slightly stressful train ride back to Paris. The cotton candy sky was a thousand hues of pink glowing over the palace as we departed the golden gates. It was one of those moments which I won’t be likely to forget any time soon.
