Amazing Angelina's hot chocolate with strawberry macaroon and chantilly (cold whipped cream). Best thing I've ever eaten!

Tons of fish just waiting to be fed!

After getting wasted on chocolate..again, we left the palace and made our way through some carefully designed gardens. Everything seemed to have it's place and was in rows and squared off. We followed the path past the turned off fountains and went into the Petit and Grand Trianons which played home to another Angelina's. Helene then led us to Marie Antoinette's Hamlet. It seemed like we had wandered into either a deserted medival town or a movie set for one. It wasn't just a few buildings either, this place was expansive. It had a pond with a stream complete with bridges, fish, and birds. There were gardens, vineyards, pastures for animals, and plenty of houses to play pretend in, which is apparently what she did.
