Next we visited the Musee de l'armee hotel national des invalides which is the french army museum. All the museums in Paris seem to have a scheme running where it is free if you're a student from the EU.
The Ceiling above Napoleon's tomb was actually way more interesting then the tomb (below) itself, however i'm not sure which Napoleon it was?! The poor guy was in five successive coffins which all seems bit excessive for one body!
Day trip to Versailles and it poured down with rain and ever the sensible travellers of course we didn't have waterproofs! So a 5euro umbrella later and we were sorted. When we got there the Palace was closed so we had to trudge round in the rain, but the gardens were lovely. Despite the rain the gardens were the best part of the day because in some parts it was so peaceful and tranquil that it felt you were the only people there.
Our lovely lunch... Rob had Carpaccio de boeuf, raw beef slices and i had linguine tomates yum yum. This was in a quiet part of the gardens in Versailles in a beautiful restaurant called le petit Venise, it must of once been an old barn because all the walls were exposed but it had modern glass tables and candelabras.
The Famous hall of mirrors..If i had moved the camera a few centimetres lower all you would see is a sea of people.
Oh hunny bun! The photo of you in front of the eiffel tower brought a tear to my eye!

Enjoy Bordeaux - find the water square on the river front.
