Our first day trip! We could not do it, we simply could not. Too many people even without the too many mirrors to double them. So, not to Versailles, yes to Fontainebleau. To the train at around 10, at Fontainebleau for free day. While was crowded enough that they ran a out of audio guides, it was not so much so that we couldn't see everything. The glitz, the glamour, tens of royals redoing the place so they could mark it? Check. Secrets all over the place, doors to who knows where? Check. Avoiding claustrophobic crowds, even though it was free day? A triumph.
We are getting good at the trains. And walking. We put today together a fun meal of cheese and baguettes and Chinese food (French Chinese food?) I wish we could have seen some of those pretty French countryside sunflowers on the train ride but it was not to be.
