Courville sur Eure

France was an extraordinary experience for me. I went there with my parents in 1998. My father is in radio controlled boats, and he had World Championship there. We were camping on a lake in Courville Sur Eure and took a day excursion to Paris, but we saw Chartres as well because it's just 20 km's from the place we were at. I loved France, but I saw the most of on our way back home. We did France by car, and can you imagine 2.000 km's trip by car? It was fantastic. We went Yugoslavia-Hungary-Austria-Germany-France. It was great! Courville is a small town, about 100km's from Paris and it stands on the river Eure. It looks just like you imagine France... It's very quite, 'till the weekend comes. Then, all of a sudden, it becomes vivid and lovely

Castle

The real task was to separate my Mom from this castle... She was willing to chain herself to this gate and never let go :)) After some struggle we managed to talk her into leaving it..

Pros and Cons

Pros:Landscapes, architecture, people.... so beautiful
Cons:People are not too willing to speak English... but you probably already know this
In a nutshell:Something old, something new... fairy tales do come true

Glad to meet you, Nina, in France. I was fond of this country too. Espesially of Paris!

Nina, you have seen a lot in a very short time ! Would you believe that I have never been to Versailles !! Just as Chartres, there are a lot of places worth a visit besides Paris !

I am so glad you enjoyed France. I like the fact you talk about less known places. Everybody seem to go to Paris and never get out of it !! As a English teacher I try to make pupil be willing to speak english. Hard task !!
