I took a day trip to Chantilly--paid 17 euros to get there. It was a Tuesday...

I stupidly forgot that Tuesday in France=EVERYTHING is closed. But I got to walk around the château and the city at a time when it was pretty much deserted. A-mazing.

My new favorite street in Paris--Rue Mouffetard. This street is GOLD. Not literally, but they have every French store you can imagine--fromageries, pâtisseries, boulangeries, poissonneries, crêperies, boucheries, charcuteries, etc.

I thought this looked pretty cool--at Fontainebleau Château

Fontainbleau--the sky was amazingly blue that day

That was the sunrise the morning I left Paris--perfect ending :)

I love this map so very much--the metro and RER map

                                                         Hôtel de Ville

The armpit of Paris aka George Pompidou Modern Art Museum. Tim said it reminds him of Mario. Unique as it may be, I think it's hideous.

                                Place des Voges where Victor Hugo lived--Renaissance architecture at its best
