Since today is Bastille Day (or Fete Nationale as it's known as in France), Heather from Habitually Chic and I thought it was the perfect time to announce our trip to Paris in early September!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOmFh1oqlPt_Be3rdRBllTZdOneeC9vglZvzCJquv1eL2Z3WfH_PO5GAq48m1wrSu97voh-8zH2phG5dtY_0ltUoRA46DzaMESKlE_9UHVu57E-14GLxsJCGaNO_2IbNE4AGyJMPJtdSqP/s400/versailles+at+night+3.jpg)

We had talked for months about wanting to go visit Versailles and you can't do that without visiting Paris! We plan on staying in the city with at least a day devoted to exploring Verailles. Another must of course are the fleamarkets! I can't wait :-)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp6MM6K9d8xKTmJI1HMoTyJFJ7_CnBvItAi1hWk4NBheBUEAVTatvym2jMCR0wAgtdM_pTxe5rK1JEx5tYC5lyj7gbwR6eGZTCnPoNR3VTFm_rz-PnwKM7QFp9NeY2gL9TfS2DZ31MTfCF/s400/petit+trianon.jpg)

Of course, I'm most excited though about visiting the Petit Trianon which i've blogged about several times in the past. I hope that by the time i'm in my dotage I'll be an expert on the small chateau and this is just the start :-)

We have a lot of exciting things planned to share with all of you, but I hope you can share with us as well. Are there any 'musts' we should do on this, our first trip to the city of lights?![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMZHt2UDjXCPUr9hE5J6Pw4_0FokIFf4FXTFY9Byj9v1IOGLv-u3tHq7Txuaut-XchiUzv9Sa1VUSqrw7QkvAFN4EDTUxwUNNj-fNoJLXDdJ4h5DY8fLCgtqR4fl_HessCyfqRZk35iXBc/s400/versailles+at+night+2.jpg)
