Alfred in front of the Basilica de San Marco, which used to be a private chapel of the doge, or ruler, of Venice. The church is named after St. Mark, the evangelist whose bones are entombed inside.

A visit to France is not complete without dropping by the Eiffel Tower--the single, best-known image of Paris in the world.

Alfred admiring the lovely flowers in the most famous garden in the world--the garden of the Chateau de Versailles. Considered a prime example of the French Baroque style, the massive garden has, among many attractions, an orangery, a vast collection of outdoor marble, bronze and lead sculptures, and some of the grandest fountains ever made. Within the grounds is the amazing sight of Marie Antoinette's fantasy farm.
