We started our day extremely tired and ate our usual French Breakfast of bread. Ren, the leader of the day, led us to subways and trains to Versailles, Louis XIV’s palace. We immediately understood why he was nicknamed the Sun King because almost everything was coated with gold. Also, Louis XIV’s bedroom was very bright (like the sun) and rooms dedicated to the gods of the planets in our solar system surrounded his bedroom. After a long walk through Louis XIV’s palace, we ate lunch in his garden. Because of how vast his gardens were it would have taken too long for us to walk through it and to Marie’ Antoinette’s Hamlet, so we rented bikes instead.
After bikin
g all the way to Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet, we walked throughout her peasant houses and farm. She had misunderstood the peasant life and had believed that it was more fun and peaceful than her aristocratic life. Therefore, she ordered her own village to be built. On the ride back, we enjoyed a treat of ice-cream. Then, Ren led us back into Paris. Mr. Travers and Josh went to see a the play Cyrano being performed while the rest of us stayed behind relaxing, eating, and watching the soccer game.
