Mercure Royal Fontainebleau 3m

... 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 ...

Tuesday's are still the best day of the week although the weekends are looking better and better as our trip to London approaches as well as Fall Break!! Of course by this I don't mean that the week is horrible I just don't think its worth writing home about. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday I have French in the morning from 10am till noon followed by a two hour lunch break and then studio from 2pm until 6pm. Some days in studio were do site visits within the city ...

... to take your own car to France, it's a question of finding out which Channel crossing best suits your needs. This can be confusing when there is so much choice. So why not save yourself a headache by taking advantage of the expertise on offer at Chez Nous? Their Travel Team has 25 years' experience of planning and ...

... at one of the Mercure hotels, which was quite adequate though a trifle small. The major point in the visit was to reaffirm my faith in one of favorite museums, the Musee D'Orsay. I certainly did. Come with me and I will take you on a little journey. To enter Musee D'Orsay is to be taken into different world. The first thing that strikes you is the stunning architecture, the transformation of the old railway station to this imaginative museum. Take in the view. Notice the ...

... use the toilet. I also found the people to be helpful, but very standoffish (is that a word?). After two nights in Paris we took a train out the city to meet some of my friends from Geelong in Fontainebleau. It took us about 24 hours of sending emails from expensive internet cafes and trying to figure out the phone system to eventually get in touch with them, and was a great relief when I finally reached them. They picked us up in a nice ...

... kept an eye out for the plentiful pick pockets as well as some flame throwers in the late evening. Had a little run in with a very excited French cook who seemed to love yelling my friends name, Justine, with his french accent. Tried Sake and Crepes(seperately of course) I also have come to the conclusion the french do not live by the rule of trying to be discreet about PDA. Instead they go about life in a more EPDA( extreme ...

... you enter that roundabout. Its also strange that the cars on the roundabout have to give way to the cars coming onto the roundabout. Thats made even more confusing considering there are 13 entry points on the roundabout! So anyway when our bus entered the roundabout, one driver decided not to observe the give way rule so we very nearly had an accident. The Arc De Triomphe is another impressive sight at night. We also got to check out some other buildings but ive ...

... back home that I can't remember right now. I was SOOO excited. I miss my church and the people there :( I went to sing, listen, read scripture, but most of all, to pray for the Figueroa family, and the family of Zeke and Darlene from Target. I worked with Darlene and Zeke for the last few years, and it has been a pleasurable experience for me to know both of them, equally. I recently learned that their family has suffered a ...

Hi there!! This being the first entry for this trip to France let me start by saying it's been AMAZING so far - that is once I left Canada at least!! My trip went from Ottawa to Montreal to Amsterdam to Paris to Fontainebleau(near the town I'm staying in). Montreal - I only saw the KLM check in counter in the airport - nothing interesting. So let me start with the flight to Amsterdam ... something for all travellers to keep in mind: air stewards are employed to stay ...

I have visited Paris at least three times that I can remember, the first time on my first trip to Europe and another time on an excursion during my year studying in The Netherlands in 1981-82 and at least one other time during travels around Europe. And what can I say about Paris? Probably the most beautiful big city in the world.
