I just come back from my bike afternoon.
It was perfect:
- the perfect weather
and, because it's Saturday and that we have a long 3 days week-end
- there were NOBODY !!

I took my time and choose to make two tours of the Grand Canal (circa 6 km for one tour, plus maybe 1 little km from home to the Canal, so ... 14 km ...). And now, I'm dead !
I think I'm gonna take a long bath !
And think about the perfect playlist for those bike afternoon !
"The cross-shaped Grand Canal is 1.5 km long, 62 m wide and the total rim is 5.5 km. In its principal axis, it extends the perspective of the gardens to the infinity. With the line of beech trees, oak trees, ash trees and wild cherry trees it displays an harmonious overview. The Grand Canal was used during royal events as a starting point for fireworks or as a real theater set. During Louis XIV reign, it hosted a three-masted ship, a galley, rowboats, gondolas from Venice… From a practical point of view, the Grand Canal is located on a lower level than the palace, it collects water from the fountains and pump it back to its starting point.

I think that the Palace and the Park are the reasons why it's so hard for me to leave Versailles !
RépondreSupprimerThe first picture is not one of mine, I took it on the Internet (but, I think that I have the same somewhere in my photos-archives ...), it's Apollo, and his pound is one of the most beautiful !
