Taking the RER train from Paris to Versailles one day, we chose to visit the town, rather than the amazing Château, which we had seen on previous trips. Leaving the Versailles-Rive Gauche RER station, we headed in the general direction of the Marché Notre-Dame, Versaille's wonderful market square.

After a five to ten minute walk we found ourselves surrounded by flowers. A bonus! Since it was Tuesday, not only was the open-air food market in town, but also the Marché aux Fleurs, or flower market.

Relatively small, the market offers a variety of seasonal flowers. We happened to show up on a cloudy, dreary day, and the site of all these flowers brightened our moods considerably!

After enjoying the blossoms, we continued to walk a few more minutes until we reached the amazing Marché Notre-Dame, the fabulous market of Versailles, with its combination of covered marketplace and open-air market.
