Paris and its surrounds provide no shortage of things to see and do. Indeed, this is my second post of things in and around Paris. In addition to the sights one might expect, I also visited the Musée Jacquemart-André, a beautiful residence showcasing the life collection of Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart. I also took a trip to the fairy-tale Chateau de Pierrefonds and explored the medieval town at the end of the line, Provins. I later found out that Provins is an exceptionally popular place for grandparents to take their grandchildren, a trend that was well observed on my visit. But perhaps the greatest trip was saved for my last weekend in Paris: Versailles. Arriving bright and early I was surprised to see a line already formed some 30 minutes before opening, albeit quite a small one. Once the doors opened, I did not mess around and got to the front of the group, ensuring that I had every room in the palace to myself for at least a short time. I rushed though first in order to have the place to myself and take photos, but once I was done I went back to the start and took things more slowly. I loved every minute of my time in Paris and will sorely miss living there.
