Today we went first to the Orsay Museum (of modern art), and then to the Versailles Chateau and gardens.
No photos were allowed in Orsay, but here's a selfie with the Sein
Next we took a train to Versailles, a castle built by a French king who decided that he wanted a more relaxed castle environmet, so he made the royals and everyone else come out to his seculuded castle to visit him. It was later added on to buy Marie Antoinette and her husband. It was beautiful and had extensive gardens.
The hall of mirrors...
Then we went to see the Eiffel tower at night.

Day 5
Today was mostly spent sitting on trains (7 hours worth, 4 different trains!). It was a beautiful ride up into the swiss alps though!
A lot of the train ride consisted of this:
The internet just got really slow, so I'll post the rest tomorrow, but it's beautiful here!
