9/24/2014 A small road trip

We needed to get some more use out of the car, so drove to St. Germain-en-Laye. (For future reference it is the last stop on the RER A1.) this is a nice little town with, of course, a Chateau.

We walked around the pedestrian market streets and ended up in the Old Market Square.


Bill stood under one of the arcs of water in the fountain and didn't get wet. Marie and I didn't risk it.

For lunch Marie and I both chose the melted chèvre salad. Bill had roast chicken with frites.


Bill hung out in the library while Marie and I explored the park around the chateau. This is the courtyard:


From the edge of the park there is a famous terrace that was designed by LeNotre. On a clear day you can see Paris. We didn't walk the whole way out because it was too long.


We picked up Bill at the library and returned home. We had leftovers for dinner.
