A while back, I showed you the inside of the right bank train station. I have yet to show you the outside. Until that happens, here's another of Versailles' three main train stations: Chantiers. This is where you head out to Chartres and Normandy, or the other way to Paris Montparnasse. I was so glad that the moon had risen above the building when I took the picture last Tuesday evening! Can you spot it? ----------------------------------------
Il y a quelques temps, je vous montrais l'intérieur de la gare rive droite. En attendant de vous en montrer l'extérieur, voici une autre des trois principales gares versaillaises : Chantiers. C'est de là que partent les trains pour Chartres et la Normandie, ou vers Montparnasse à l'Est. J'étais trop contente de voir la lune au-dessus mardi dernier en prenant la photo ! Vous la voyez ?
A bit faint, but there it is. Beautiful sky...
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice-looking train station. We took a bus to the Palace, so didn't go through any of the stations.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I embiggened the photo and there it was...that nice little slice of moon...
That sky is sooo blue! Beautiful!
I wish that I was there right now. I've been to Paris,Chartres and Rouen in Normandy but I've never stopped at Versailles. The sky is so wonderfully blue.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I remember this. I think my family once got very lost trying to find it and then get the right train.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very modern looking station.
ReplyDeletePour la lune, je donne ma langue au chat ;)...
ReplyDeleteInteresting architecture - different than I expected. I can see the crescent moon! I like the people in the photo too with the young woman in a blue dress complimenting the sky. And the round street lamps. Lots of interesting details.
ReplyDeleteYesssssssssssss je l'ai vu ;o))
ReplyDeleteJe n'aime pas trop les gares... Le quai des aurevoir...
ReplyDeleteil n'y a pas de I à SNCF je vois pas l'intérêt du point
ReplyDeleteLa lune... Serait ce la lune nouvelle ? Elle est toujours au ciel en journée, mais on ne la voit pas d'hab si on n'y prête attention, il me semble qu'elle troue ton ciel bleu.
ReplyDeleteJ'ai déjà pris le train à la gare chantier, pas loin du lycée la Bruyère si mes souvenirs sont exacts...
A moon and a train station. What else does one need? Ah, a memory stick with some space left!
ReplyDeleteA nice capture. Took me awhile but I finally saw the Moon. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteWe just returned from Northern Ohio, the Lake Erie, Marblehead, Oberlin area. I'll have to say that Lake Erie is a clean and inviting, beautiful lake with a fabulous shoreline. It totally surpassed my expectations. Northern Ohio is full of miles and miles of pasture, barns, bays, harbors, islands, at least one lighthouse, stunning blue skies, Orthodox churches, cute little shops.....
Unfortunately, other people don't usually want to be around me when I am in "photographer mode." So I didn't capture nearly as many photos as I'd hoped.
It is so fun to discover a new region of one's own country. Thanks for asking.

Regarding traveling. Before adventuring back to France, I am going to read the archives of every CDP site I can get my eyes on for France and plan my trip around those sites. Seeing this train station in this great photo just makes me want to visit your fine country again!
ReplyDeleteThe station is quite attractive, especially the rounded front and the arched windows.
ReplyDeleteLe ciel est si bleu ! J’ai pris le train de Montparnasse à Versailles plusieurs fois. C’est une jolie gare.
ReplyDeleteUne petite question : comment as-tu fait pour avoir les boites à cocher avec tes commentaires ? J’ai essayé de le faire sur mon blog, mais ils n’apparaissent toujours pas. Je me demande si je dois activer qq’chose.
Yes, I can see it:) Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteLook at that blue sky, amazing. Ours is smoke filled from fires in British Columbia.
