City Breaks

Château de Versailles

Sometimes the impromptu decisions are the best ones or so I’m learning. I have a tendency to plan everything to minute detail but sometimes it’s nice and certainly a lot less stressful to have no plan at all and simply go where the wind takes you. That’s sort of what happened last Sunday. My working day finished earlier than anticipated so late in the afternoon I found myself quite unexpectedly at Versailles after receiving an impromptu invite from a friend. Ordinarily I would have thought it too late in the day to venture outside of central Paris but this time I didn’t over-think it, I just went with it. And I am so thankful that I did as it turned out to be the most magical of Sunday evenings and the perfect end to my final day in Paris. I was in fact to board a plane that every evening which proved for a slightly stressful train ride back to Paris. The cotton candy sky was a thousand hues of pink glowing over the palace as we departed the golden gates. It was one of those moments which I won’t be likely to forget any time soon.

Gorgeous photos! I love taking impromptu adventures. Anytime I get out of classes or work and someone invites me on a downtown adventure or an excursion in a different neighborhood I’m all in!

I fell in love with your website a few months ago, just after the best thing I ever did in my life..buying a small studio in the roof of Le Marais, near Place des Vosges. Every time you publish your amazing pics I feel so good that I start thinking about the next time I’ll visit my beloved city..even if I’m italian and I leave in Venice I belong to Paris!

I know you’re so right luckily in Paris there is an abundance of such architecture and surrounding castles x

Oh thank you for your sweet words – I always try my bes to capture magical light but always worry that I don’t convey sunsets or sunrises as well as I’d like to x
