Our last full day in Paris was spent at Versailles. The audio commentary finished by quoting someone from history saying "everything is grand at Versailles" ... it was.
On the way back on the train we overheard something about a train strike. Watched the evening news and there was story after story about trains. It is a shame we didn't pay more attention in French classes at school (couldn't understand a thing). Somehow we did confirm that there was a strike and there would be no metro trains on our last day. Tried to book a taxi but the earliest available was at 5:00pm (7 hours after our train to London was scheduled to leave). Shanks's Pony got us to the station on time.
