Fontainebleu. . . then Paris!

The second leg of our trip took us to Paris but we immediately got on the train to Fontainebleu.   It is a quaint village and the chateau is fabulous.  Our day there was drizzly but still wonderful.

Of the many chamber rooms inside there was one that was set up for the queen to give birth.  It was required that she give birth in front of witnesses so that the heir would be "verified".

The doors to the chamber were painted with these beautiful pregnant ladies.  After a wonderful day and evening in Fontaineblue we headed into Paris!

Fleamarkt

I missed all the big flea markets over the weekend, but when we set out on our first day, Tuesday, I did find a few vendors at the farmer’s market.  But no treasures were to be found!

Hotelstreet

This quaint street is where our hotel was located.  So french!

Parisfun

Oh yeah, I was having fun!

Towerlovers

Our hotel was only blocks from the Eiffel Tower and we went there every night!  So romantic!

  3. I am reliving our trip to Paris thru you.It was romantic…we loved the Eiffel Tower…were terrified by the drivers…and also did not find treasures at the flea markets…but ooooh the sidewalk cafes, the architecture and the art. I am reading your blog at 10:00am and swooning. Hopefully there will be more???

  7. Fantastic pictures! I’m drooling over Fontainebleu. I have a Madame de Pompadour fixation lately and just seeing the pics after all I’ve read is amazing. I’d love to see the Palace of Versailles one day.
    Have a lovely holiday!!
