  • Make sure you know if your train goes directly to Versailles or how many stops that particular train will be making.

    I almost didn?t get off at the right place because I was told "X" number of stops before Versailles and the train only stopped "Y" number of times!

    I did very much enjoy myself here, though it will not be top on my list the next time I visit Paris.

  • This little market in the town of Vernon was sublime running on Wednesday mornings and Saturdays.

    This particular Wednesday morning I was able to purchase the usual (wonderful) fruits, ham, and bread for lunch....

    -AND-

    A bottle of cidre bouché from the back of a truck directly from the orchard!

    The square also has a Monoprix and other assorted shops and is on the way to city hall, collegiate church Notre Dame and the old mill.

     Excellent Paris tips. The Cronstadt sounds nice. I like staying in quieter neighbourhoods in Paris.
