... complete with a farm and animals, a lighthouse, peasants houses, a lake, a mill for her to play with. Quite amazing!

We moved on to Chartres in the evening and are parked on a roadside parking strip with a view of the lighted Cathedral. We strolled into the town this evening, over cobbled bridges and lanes, past leaning half-timbered shops and restaurants, to peek-a-boo views of the haunting Cathedral. The town was ...

... 1 credit. Magnifique - non! We had been warned on ridiculous Internet costs... So, having ditched the UK's O2 card because of similar instantaneous emptying of roaming account, I will need to be careful with Orange.

I had a really great day trip to Chartres. Once again the weather was sunny and warm, I've been lucky with the weather so far especially on day trips from Paris.

The journey took about 1 hour in a very comfortable train.
