– Visited Chateau Valencay on our way to Paris. This was the prior home of Talleyrand, Napoleon’s foreign minister. The place is great for families because the outdoor area has a large maze, playground and animals. The chateau itself is a great step-back-in-time with plenty of furniture and artifacts that once belonged to Talleyrand. Throughout the Chateau grounds one hears Classical music playing which really adds to ambience of visiting such a place.
– Made it to Paris and checked into the Etap in the 19th arrondisement. Can’t beat their prices at less than 50 euros per night for a room.
– We took the subway to the Louvre and walked around outside. The kids enjoyed the glass pyramids
