        3  Day: Paris - Versailles
         rd
        After the breakfast, the morning is dedicated to a
        guided visit of Versailles.
        Curiosity: not everybody knows that Reggia con-
        tains 3 edifices: Versailles, the Big and the Small
        Trianon. The total surface is 67.121 square me-
        ters, but only 50.000 are opened for the public.
        The building has also 700 rooms, 2.513 windows,
        352  strolls,  67  stairs  and  483  mirrors.  Its  roofs
        cover around 13 hectares of surface. An another
        particular thing about Reggia of Versailles is the
        number of its inside and outside statues: they are                                                                   239
        372 and it can take a day just to admire them.
        A lunch in a restaurant and an afternoon dedicat-
        ed to a shopping with… the Galeries Lafayette, in
        the heart of Paris, in the boulevard Haussmann in
        the 9th arrondissement.
        Curiosity: the big Lafayette storages are the sec-
        ond most visited place of the French capital af-
        ter the Louvre, but also the biggest commercial
        center  of  Europe,  with  more  of  80.000  visitors
