This is our last day in France. We do not leave the Charles de Gaulle airport until evening so we wanted to do something on the way to the airport, but after staying up so late enjoying the lights of Chartres, we had a hard time getting moving this morning. By 11 a.m. we were driving out of Chartres, headed for Provins. We chose it because it is another UNESCO World Heritage site. During medieval times it was a fair town. It was another lovely drive through the French countryside. We spotted the town before we arrived.
We took a driving tour through town. We went past Caesar's Tour.
Then over to the Saint Quiriace Collegiate Church.
Bryan always drove and I served as the navigator. As we tried to make our way through the narrow streets of the town, I got us lost. Some of the streets were just as wide as our car.
We finally made our way to the ramparts. We got out and hiked to the top.
It gave us a nice view back towards the city of Provins.
We had hoped to eat a nice meal in this city in the Champagne region but we had run out of time. We ate energy bars in the car as we headed for the airport. We ate a perfectly horrible meal in the airport before loading onto our plane for a 12 hour flight back to California.
