Bleu Marine Meulin Fontainebleau

... we were inside. Since we had left later than expected, we only had about an hour and a half to get through the chateau. It was absolutely beautiful. I'm gonna say that this is the chateau of the Renaissance, because Francois I and some other Kings of the 1500s lived there during the period. Apparently Francois I had a great love for Italian architecture of the day, and brought in a lot of the Italian-inspired design to ...

... I enjoy those mainly because we usually get out before 6, however looking like a big group of tourists while Terry uses his microphone to shout above the crowds in the gardens is not very fun.

This Tuesday took us on another bus ride outside of the city but this time to the south. First on the agenda for the day was Vaux le Vicomte. Built in the 17th century by a finance minister of the King of France by the name of Nicolas Fouquet this chateau encompasses ...

... for campsite directions. One gentleman tells us there are none around the area and another man gives us directions to one on the outskirts of town. That was a wild goose chase!
All we could do was travel south to the next town (Orleans) an hour away and hope for a hotel.
Feeling really ****** *** we set off and after 5 minutes came across a wonderful sight, a tent symbol on a sign pointing left. Yipeeee.
Half an hour ...

... to take pictures. After the tour we had a lovely lunch at La Table Saint Jean and then we were off to the Souterrains. We were a Little bit early for our visit to the Souterrains so we went to an interesting little gallery right near there. The Souterrains is a series of underground chalk mines that is 2 km long. It has lots of chambers and many of them are now privately owned. There were lots of interesting things carved into the walls saying who ...

Here are finally the news!! Of course, to make sure that everyone will be confortable with the langage, I will also translate it in french! Here are a few pictures of our first training course in Melun. Between party time & work, these two weeks were really exhausted!! But doing Karting & going to restaurant on the Champs-Elysees was also part of the job. Hehe it was really really herd believe me (this is for my french friends, I told them I ...

... to consider the following. Cost: the price of a flight to your chosen destination may look too good to be true, but before you are seduced by the figures it pays to do your sums. If flying, you must take into account the cost of getting to the airport, car-park charges which can run into hundreds of pounds and ...

... before had been a nightmare trying to get away from the overly eager restauranteers who wanted you to use their restaurant. Fortunately they hadn't yet come out in full force, so we were able to choose the restaurant we wanted without much hassle and ended up at this lovely little greek one not to far from the river. The food was excellent, we got a pre set menu and the price just couldnt be beaten. 15 Euros for a three course meal, we were so full by the second course that ...

Eelnevalt olime oma teekonda miskipärast ka ära märkinud sellise koha nagu Montargis. Kohapeale jõudes ei meenunud aga kummalegi põhjus, mida me sealt otsisime. Kuna seal oli mitmeid chocolaterie'sid, siis otsustasime, et järelikult need olidki põhjuseks. Mitte, et me sealt mitmekümne euroseid šokolaade oleks soovinud osta! Cappuccino vahukoorega läks õigesse kohta see-eest.

... St-Tropez. We eventually notice a sign to Carrefour, and follow the rather complicated route through suburban streets. It seems we are traversing a housing project, and Miryam anxiously senses that the populace is getting darker and darker by the minute. We finally emerge into the Carrefour parking lot and it seems like we have left France and arrived in Algeria. We expect to see Osama bin Laden with his shopping cart and harem at any moment. Keeping an eye out for ...
