France Impressions is a blog about my travels throughout France. Travel is about embarking on journeys, discovering new places, its people, learning from others and in particular, learning about oneself. I believe travel is an art and I like to craft trips and tours around your personality, interests, desires and dreams. I undertake to open for you 'doors that are normally closed" thereby ensuring you gain access to exclusive experiences while introducing you to extraordinary personalities.

During the summer in Paris, Versailles hosts several night time evening spectaculars around its water basin. Music and fireworks at 9:30pm.
A highlight this summer is the FĂȘtes de Nuit, allowing visitors to step back in time, themed around Cyrano de Bergerac, Fantastic fireworks and giant images on water screens are set to music.
Saturday 29 August, 5 and 12 September
Friday 4 and 11 September
Thursday 10 September
Bassin de Neptune – 9.30 pm
Prices from Euro 35 to 85 (the higher rate is for your car parking - but of course visitors don't have cars)
Tickets can be ordered on line at the Versailles website.
When in Paris, a short journey away is the beautiful and inspiring Versailles Palace. You can book Versailles tours, which leave from France's capital, and I loved the tour I was on! I would highly recommend adding this to your 'to do' list when in Paris if you have time!
