La surprise de cette nuit à Versailles, c’est que lorsque le jour s’est levé et que nous nous apprêtions à partir, et bien la fête était encore loin d’être terminée.
Nous avons suivi le cortège dans les allées désertes du jardin, pour finalement nous retrouver … au beau milieu de la salle de bal à ciel ouvert !
C’était fou !
J’avais déjà eu l’occasion d’admirer les fontaines de ce petit recoin du château de Versailles, mais croulant sous les touristes.
C’était donc fort amusant de voir des costumes XVIIIème y danser, comme si j’avais été transporté dans une peinture vivante.
Vers 8h du matin, quand les corsets ont commencé à trop serrer, et les pieds à devenir douloureux dans leurs souliers, nous avons rejoins notre carrosse.
Une petit Nissan Micra, qui nous à ramené tout doucement vers le 21ème siècle, et la réalité.

The great surprise of this night in Versailles, is that when the dawn arrived and that we were about to leave, well the party was not over at all.
We followed the procession into the deserted paths of the garden, to soon find ourself right in the middle of … the open sky ball room !
It was crazy !
I visited this place in the past, but when it was pretty much crowded with tourists.
So it was very amusing to see XVIIIth century costumes dancing there, like if I was moving through a living painting.
Around 8 AM, when the corsets began to over tighten, and feet become painfull in their shoes, we walked to our coach.
A small little Nissan, which slowly brought us back to the 21th century, and reality.
