France trip - day 2

We planned visit Chateau du Versailles and it's gardens, but weather wasn't good for it. It schould be better tomorrow so we postpone our plans and today we visited some places arround.

On beginning we decided to see Arcades du Lac, it is not tourist attraction as the others castles or abbeys arround.

We visited also Chateau de Monte Cristo, the residence French famous writer Alexander Dumas. The place where we spend the afternoon was Saint Germain en Laye.
