Sun 27 Jul- after breakfast and checking out, we went the city L'Hay les Roses to visit the Val de Marne Rose Garden. It is a huge rose garden with row after row of roses of every kind. Although past the peak season, there were still many beautiful blossoms and a wonderful. We admired the garden for an hour or so, then had lunch there: split 1/2 liter of rose wine (what else in a rose garden?), a 'salad of the day' with many various ingredients; and an Italian salad (tomato, mozzarella cheese and lettuce), then finally cafe for a total of E26.
Then on to Versailles and the Westin Trianon Palace, next to the famous chateau. We relaxed for a while, checked the Internet, then went shopping for a picnic dinner, to have in addition to our 'Chateau de Canon Halbi' apple-pear cider (4% alcohol) and our 'Pate de Campagne Le Campagnard' pate (65% gorges de porc', and 35% 'foie de volaille' from Manoir de Hautegente: lettuce, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, wasa crackers for E14. We had an enjoyable picnic in our room.
