Paris: Day 8 (4/27/07)

Let's leave the city today, shall we? Ok.
We're taking an early train out of the city to the town of Chartres. The train ride from Paris to Chartres lasts for about an hour.

The main sight is the Cathedrale Notre Dame de Chartres. Entry into the cathedral is free, but if you wish to climb the stairs up to the New Bell Tower (Clocher Neuf), it'll make you spend some of your energy...it's high, about 112 meters!! We'll spend some time walking around Chartres. We'll look at some old buildings...that's always fun, isn't it?

After lunch, we'll take a train back to Paris, but we'll stop in Versailles on the way. We'll take in the awesome palace, the Chateau de Versailles. We'll spend an hour or so going through the palace and the gardens.

Then we'll relax and check out the surrounding town of Versailles. Let's eat dinner and then take a train back to Paris.
