Though this summer started out badly, it was then very hot in August!
Yes... These guys are tenants in the grounds of Madame Elisabeth's orangerie !
It's blackberry time! You can actually find a few in Versailles, in this case in the grounds of Madame Elisabeth's orangerie! You have to be swift though! There aren't many! 
Versailles being a very recent town, (its construction really began at the very end of the 17th century) its avenues are among the widest in France and at the time, were the widest. 
I spotted this house and liked the three levels and ornamentation! 
Right in the middle of Versailles are Montbauron stadium and swimming pool. The latter is the glass building you can see in the background of the top photo. Today, I am crossing the Atlantic and VDP will be on automatic mode for awhile. See you soon!
Le stade et la piscine Montbauron se trouvent en plein centre ville. La piscine est le bâtiment en verre que vous pouvez voir sur la photo du haut. Aujourd'hui, je traverse l'Atlantique. VDP sera en mode auto, à bientôt !
During the Water Nights at the palace, there is only one way to quench your thirst: a fresh orange juice made from the fruit of the palace Orangerie which I was showing you here. To view all posts on the enchanting Water Nights, click on the "Eaux Nocturnes" label below. Sorry for again not visiting your blogs, I will try to do so today.
I had shown you Notre-Dame cemetery angels here. These are slightly more general views of the graveyard, including the entrance. I apologize for not having time to visit your blogs, I have had some pressing matters to attend to.
This chapel is located in the verdant and leafy residential area of Clagny. It was constructed in 1885 but has ceased to be used for holy mass since the 1920s and now serves as chaplaincy for two Versailles schools as well as parish house for the neighbourhood. 
The monument to honor the Gendarmerie, a military body with police duties, was completed in 1941 but only inaugurated after the war in 1946. The lady in the middle, with her sword, symbolises France. She is just over 13 ft tall which should give you an idea of the size of the monument. The other characters represent gendarmes through the ages, from the days of king Louis the 15th to the 20th century. It stands huge and massive in the middle of what is now a roundabout in the north of the city. The church spire that is visible in the middle is located in the contiguous city of Le Chesnay.
