Today I took a bus out to Vaux Le Vicomte. The long and short of it is that this is a chateau of this rich dude who really got Louis the XIV's panties in a twist and so after a while of him all trying to deal with his penis envy issues and what not, he had him (Nicolas Fouquet) imprisoned for life. A lot of people believe him to be The Man in the Iron Mask, which is a legend in addition to being that movie with Leonardo DiCaprio where he had unattractively long hair. The chateau is considered to be a model for Versaille and is really, really big. The gardens are amazing and so perfect and they light up the place by candles in the evening. It was a full moon and I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it is. There was a little cafe on the grounds and so I ordered a cup of coffee and a small bottle of J&B and made an Irish coffee to keep me warm on this brisk evening.
Now I am back and my room and more than exhausted after my long day considering the evening I had prior, exploring the Parisian night life- which, incidentally, is more hoping than even New York City. I am bellying up to my desk to write a few letters before retiring for the evening.
For those of you who don't know, check out my pictures as they are uploaded by clicking the les fotos link to the right. I will try and keep them as current as possible.
