Paris 2024, Day 4 (Part 3)

Rested and reasonably well-fed, I re-entered the gardens and groves of Versailles. (Two entrances were permitted on my pass, so once I left after this time, there was no returning this trip.)

SO MUCH that I hadn't yet explored - most of which I came across. Some of the statues, etc., I made sure to take note of, but plenty I didn't.

(Enceladus)

(The sheer expanse of the grounds of this place were perpetually astonishing.)

(Hercules)

(Bacchante)

Finally, hot and somewhat exhausted from walking these enormous grounds, I had a couple of hours to go inside the palace and look about. Stay tuned for Part 4.
