Les Journees du Patrimoine: Day 2

Before I get started with Day 2, here are my favorite pictures from yesterday:

Opera Garnier

 So today I went with a few fellow au pairs to Versailles! It is such a cute town. We had a picnic at the garden consisting of: baguette, goat cheese, strawberries, and banannas.

After our visit to the chateau and gardens, we sat down for a cafe and then took the train back to Maisons-Laffitte, where the other au pairs live. It is only about a 10-15 minutes away from where I live, so I met them there this morning. There was a huge flea market today in the town that only comes once a year. It is like a town garage sale. Everyone lines the city streets with their "treasures." It was packed! I didn't find anything I wanted to buy, but it was fun to look.

I left Maisons-Laffitte and when I got home, I immediately went in the house to greet the children. I haven't seen them all weekend. They were very excited to see me.They all screamed my name when I walked in the door and the youngest two immediately gave me hugs. All in all, it was a good day! Tomorrow begins the first full work week!
