Versailles Damn Near Killed Us

We arrived after a late start and apparently the rest of the world got there fifteen minutes ahead of us. The heat was oppressive. The Little Man nearly got heat exhaustion. We wandered the gardens and the Grand Trianon. Then the boys simply couldn't rally for the Palace. 



Rachael won the day by braving the heat and getting in to the Palace.

The boys and I beat it to a cafe and rallied around ice cream. 
Peyton saved an over eager bee. 
Driving to Chartres, I was not sufficiently obedient   to the British Lady in the GPS and got lost-ish, so she took us on a twenty minute detour out of spite. 

Finally arrived at Chartres. Charming town and a nice hotel after two nights in a fleabag.
