I loved seeing the inside of the castle, part of which is used as a museum. There are over 1000 rooms in the castle so we didn't even come close to seeing them all. And the gardens outside were really pretty too. But I wished the trip had been schedule on a different day. Today was very damp and extremely windy - so it was very cold. It would have been nice to walk around the gardens and relax for a while, but that would not have been fun because of the weather so after taking a quick look and some group photos, we all headed back to bus to get warm and wait until we departed for Paris.
I think I'm going to come back in the Spring when it's warm so I appreciate the gardens better. API said it's only about 30 minutes from Paris by the RER, a fast-rail train, so it's definitely worth it to go back.
We got back to Paris around 2pm and every split up to spend the rest of their saturday doing whatever. Jaclyn, David and I met our friend Matt in the 13th arrondissement where there's a small china-town to get lunch. We wanted to take our time and see all the types of restaurants in the area but it started to downpour as soon as we got there! So instead we took shelter in the closest restaurant we could find, which was a thai restaurant. The food was delicious and I would definitely not mind going back to eat there again sometime.
