Campanile Chantilly Sud - Luzarches Île-de-France

... 16 charges were made between 4:00 pm and around midnight when it was finally too dark to see anything. Some charges made it all the way to the English lines where fierce hand-to-hand fighting took place. King Edward's son, 16 year-old Edward, called the Black Prince, commanded the English center and won his spurs that day. Edward was in danger several times, but his father wanted him to distinguish himself and declined to send reinforcements.

I stood near the point ...

... the window. The next day Chris Sam and Zack headed to the Parc Asterix to experience a French theme park: They thought it was great, the only disadvantage of the beautiful weather we were experiencing was the huge queues on all the rides. Cassandra and I went in to Chantilly and wandered around the French market. A lovely atmosphere, with fresh foods and stalls of great interest to Cass: She settled on a very glitzy necklace and ...

... did in the bus driving back was also a little risqué, I am glad that the bus wasn't full and that the people on the bus could handle my little outburst. Although I Kinda wish that I hadn't, I hate that Gerry saw that side of me. Now we are back at the hotel having drinks in Ed and Sandy's room with Jason, Marella, Kristie and Gerry. A very late night. It is about 1am and I so need to go to sleep and sleep a lot. You know you love me XoXo

... was also barricaded, and the one after that was the Rue de l'Elysée, where the French President (Sarkozy) lives. No, they didn't let me go down that street either. Eventually, I came to the Ave de Marigny, which was open. I got to the Champs Elysées through there, and suddenly found myself in the Tour de France. Large tents - yellow and white - were set up in the distance, where the stands would be set up. A few official vendors were ...

... But the location is outstanding - we are directly across from Nore Dame. 'I'm waiting or Theresa and Loretta - they must be hung up somewhere in transit. However, I've had a very enjoyable afternoon exploring the neighbourhood - the weather is perfect today - bright sunshine, mid-20s. Hopefully, I can upload a picture from today - loving my new little computer, and all the cool stuff it can do A demain! K

... after all, Paris IS the city of lights.. Oh one last thing, there is only one bathroom and toilet in Gruncle's 2 bedroom apartment, which just so happened to be the en suite of the main bedroom... So after a quick shower, Grauntie handed us a small white bucket with lid, filled part way up with water... Yup, she just gave us a potty!!!! Great... Let's hope that we won't be needing this service - and even if we did, I will relieve you of the knowledge.. =P

... a raw egg on top that quickly cooks into the piping hot sauce). We headed to the Louvre with full stomachs. The Louvre is the largest and one of the best museums in the world. The museum was open until 10 pm tonight, so we knew it would be a marathon rather than a sprint. The building itself was once a royal palace and it is HUGE. Click here for more on the ...

... it. So my advice to anyone visiting Versailles: Go in the middle of the week in the spring or fall, buy a museum pass, and wear a diaper. That evening was typical for us in Paris. Drinking in front of a church (the great European pastime). Up till now it was all guys in our room, but this evening we had Veronique from Quebec, an adorable burst of french female energy. She kept the evening from turning into a complete sausage-fest.

... We also saw the grave of Oscar Wilde, really unique, with a half angel half demon flying above it. It was reported that this creature had a pair of large testicles, which had been broken off by some offended visitors. His grave is covered in kisses and messages. I would assume that the testicles were stolen by religious folks. It's an amazing ...

... french cuisine to celebrate no longer being hobos. so far paris is a great city, we only have one more day here but it should be a full one. we are going to visit all of the remaining sites, notre dam and what not and then take another bike tour, but this time at night to truly experience the city of lights. after that its back to amsterdam and then home which seems unreal. probably wont update again untill amsterdam so check back in a few. scott
