When we were planning this trip we wanted to go to Paris and do some sightseeing but with all the protests (against the pass sanitaire) we didn't feel happy to be there.

So we planned and prebooked to go to Versailles. Again just like Disney this was limited capacity and only you could only get in with the covid app.

It is a 50 minutes drive from Disney and parking is easy in front of the castle. And where quite impressed with all the gold



But then we saw the queue
This was crazy so many people, we had to wait 30 minutes after our (reserved) entry time. The castle and the art was beautiful but the amount of people in such small rooms was terrible. Also maybe not such a good idea to visit with an 13 and 14 year old. I think we broke a record and walked through the castle and a small piece of the gardens in 2 hours.
After the relaxing days at Disney this was a bit of a downer.

We had a lovely (but very expensive) break at a patiserrie in the street of the castle. And drove back to Disney.

The early evening was spend in the Disney Village and the girls were dying to have a french mac menu. Where we had a chat with some Americans (also clueless about the travelban).
And some more money was spend.

We where hoping to visit the new Marvel hotel but you aren't allowed in any Disney hotel it you aren't staying there, because of covid.

After an icecream we went back to the hotel and spend an hour or 2 using the wifi.

Monday:

Our final morning and travelday.
DH and I went downstairs to eat some breakfast together while the teenagers stayed in bed. We did bring them a croissant/drink/fruit to eat in bed.
Moved everything back in the car and made a quick stop at Val d'europe for some shopping. In the end we where to tired and after an hour went to the Auchon (supermarket) to buy some drinks/snacks for the drive home.

Luckily traffic was fine and arrived back home 5 hours and 15 minutes after leaving.
