The Fountains of Versailles
The gardens of the Château de Versailles are truly alive during the magnificent Les Grandes Eaux Musicales. One can stroll through the gardens with music and the fountains flowing in their most beautiful form. From the current schedule, it seems the shows will be on Saturdays, Sundays, some Tuesdays, and holidays.
For those who have visited Versailles, you know the lines for tickets can be very long. However, the website has a new feature that allows you to purchase your ticket and print it before you visit. On this page you may choose the PASSEPORT 1J+GRANDES EAUX, which includes the music and fountains, and the date you would like to go before printing your ticket. This should assure that you would not miss the wonderful fountains on your next trip to Versailles. The link for the online tickets is: http://billetterie.chateauversailles.fr/online/Manifestations.aspx?langue=en
If you have visited the Château before, but missed the fountains, you may enjoy an enchanting summer evening with Les Grandes Eaux Nocturnes, a display accompanied by fire, water, and Baroque music. I have bookmarked this for my next opportunity:

Female fashion models who work with the designers throughout the season are also in the competition. Each week, as the number of designers dwindle, the number of models are also reduced, with one model remaining at the end. Models are randomly pre-assigned to a designer during the first challenge, and from the second challenge onwards, the designers will have an opportunity to pick the model they wish to work with. This usually happens during the start of every episode save for the first, with the winner of the previous challenge receiving first pick, and the other designers picking models in order through host Klum’s random draw of large red shirt buttons with their names stored in a black velvet bag. Though, there are times when only the winning designer will be given the choice to pick with the following choices: either keep his or her previous model, take the losing designer’s model Project Runway from the last challenge, or switch models with another competing designer
