I successfully did less today. This morning I decided to check out tomorrow’s Metro trip to the station without my backpack. Got to the station and could see where I needed to go and decided to just ride to the end of the line. And what did I find but an enormous fortified house. Château de Vincennes. It has an interesting history back to the mid-1300s. It is wonderful and except for a couple of school groups no one was there. I had the entire place to myself.
Of course I went up all of them and came down every so carefully. Handrails were not a big thing in the 14th century. Some of the steps had been leveled up. But others were seriously worn down from centuries of feet.
I wasn’t 100% alone. Apparently, later in June the European part of the world archery championship will take place here and these folks were practicing.
Returned home to have a leisurely afternoon and enjoy my cold which is worse but still not Covid positive. I went out for a little late afternoon stroll.
Now most of you know that I HATE waiting on line. So, no new tiara for me this summer.
I adore Paris. I don’t know why I have been away so long. And I think I may be too old to make it back again. But, you never know.
Leaving about noon tomorrow for Dijon.
