One of the things I've noticed the most about Paris, and France in general it seems, is that they really love flowers. This is lovely because it means that even in a large city like Paris there are always green spaces with flowers or even trees. And PUBLIC Green Spaces, lovely little parks where they welcome you to come in and sit around, and since the weather so far has been lovely, nothing like the constant humid-hot of Florida, most people have been taking advantage of the green spaces.
But the lovely little green spaces, hidden parks and open flowers of Paris have NOTHING on the garden's of Versailles. The gardens at Versailles are the image of opulence and carefully tended gardens. The flowers are beautifully in bloom and the lanes are lined with perfectly sculpted topiaries. The people love it, and the bees love it more, but these bees seem quite pleased with just the flowers and don't really bother with the guests at the garden.

Between the flowers and the lovely sculptures, it's no surprise that people would come from far and wide to the palace of the Sun King to come and see his palace and his gardens. They really are something wild.
