[France Summer Vacation] Day 05: A day trip to Versailles Château + Lunch at Chez Lazare

Image
We had a quick and early breakfast before taking the RER Line C to Versailles Château – Rive Gauche , followed by a 10-minute walk to the palace. It is located 20km from the main city of Paris, which took us approximately 45-60mins to reach. As expected, the line was incredibly long, so pre-purchase or reservation of tickets in advance online in conjunction with the museum pass is recommended! Our museum passes did not let us skip the security line, but as a museum pass holder, we were given a priority access security line though. The Palace of Versailles is still one of the most-visited attractions in Paris. The Palace offers an incredible insight into French history, illuminating the lavish and ostentatious lives the former monarchs used to live. The Palace of Versailles is one of my highlight tours in Paris. It is definitely worth a visit, as we learnt a lot about French history. No visit to Paris would be complete without seeing the Palace of Versailles with your own eyes! T

KFC Singapore celebrated their 45th year in Singapore by having a KFC-themed multi-sensory installation over a 5 day period in July. The installation was located at Vivocity, whereby entry was free. However, visitors were required to obtain queue numbers prior entering. A big shout-out to JSL for queuing at the installation in the morning to get the queue numbers for us to enter in the afternoon. Every visitor was offered a chance at the KFC themed Gachapon machine to win enamel pins, stickers, or even KFC food vouchers to redeem menu items that are currently unavailable, such as the Zinger Double Down. There was a kitchen section for us to take a peek on how the famous fried chicken is prepared in a KFC restaurant. Thanks to my friends who joined me to this event. I appreciated that you guys took the time to join me at this event! We were so lucky to be within the 4,500 visitor limit to the installation! We each received a voucher for a free two-piece chicken! I also took home some so
