À Paris...

We exit the camp straight onto a car-free cycle route through more woods. The trees are well spaced, letting sunlight through. Then a bit of scary peddling on a fast road before a new cycle path rescues us and brings us to the ornamental lake beside Versailles Palace. What a great place for a picnic, and we have the view to ourselves.








We then venture around to the front of the palace, where the gold leaf is glinting in the sun, but there are big crowds of tourists, so we pedal off towards the Seine. Lots of roadworks make it an uncomfortable ride along the river, so we go along parallel quiet back roads, heading vaguely towards the Eiffel Tower, always visible on the skyline, arriving early afternoon at Paul and Nichola's apartment, on Place du Commerce about 1/2 mile south west of the Eiffel Tower.
