At the train station in Compieane, we rendezvoused with the bicycle rental guy and picked up our bikes for the day. Then we set out through the largest forest in France (The King's Forest) to visit the Chateau at Pierrefonds.....an honest to goodness 14th century castle.
It was like being in a Harry Potter movie....in fact....some of them were filmed in this castle. Most of the remodeling was done by Napolean III in the 1800's. Even Flat Stanley enjoyed the tour.
After the tour, we made the ride back on the bikes....about 26 Km today on the bicycles, then the train ride back to Paris, and another great French dinner. Back at the apartment.....and we are whipped....have to rest fast, tomorrow is another day.
