Day 12; Exploring Paris

 Day 12; Exploring Paris.





The Versailles railway station is in front of our hotel. It is a beautiful fin du siècle railway station, a pleasure to get on the train. Ben pushed Es in the only train that was departing at the very moment we arrived at the platform, leading to some marital tension because we were not sure at all where this train was heading anyway. The train and the marriage were heading in the right direction so we arrived in time at the Picasso Museum for an exhibition on Picasso and Rodin.






After the exhibition we made a long walk through the city. Place des Vosges with a light lunch, coffee at the Centre Pompidou, a very interesting explanation about the repairs on the Norte Dame, the Sorbonne, the Pantheon and finally the Gardins de Luxembourg.










We took the train back to Versailles at the Boulevard St Michel and ended a very enjoyable day at an Indian restaurant.

Time for bed now, tomorrow 102 km to Beauvais.
