We depart the hotel at 08:45 aiming to arrive in Versailles at 09:00. We follow the signs towards Versailles and it takes us forty minutes all through the country lanes of this part of Paris!
Some of the group visit the palace while others take in the town and its great produce market which has the most wonderful atmosphere. Why does food look so much nicer at a French market than at home? They take a lot of pride in presentation and it makes you want to buy almost everything!
We leave here at 12:30 and at the coach park exit I put the ticket in the machine and then enter the credit card to pay for the parking but it will not accept the card. The French coach driver behind is not too impressed with this and comes over to help me out! I try two cards and neither work so end up paying cash. No problem it is only €53!
As on the journey down we are blessed with light traffic and arrive in Calais at 16:45 allowing half an hour in the terminal before our train at 17:50.
The return drive to home is very uneventful and we have no problems with the drop offs, arriving back in Petersfield at 20:00.
I love going to Paris and this tour has gone well and I hope all have enjoyed this great city.
