Fontainebleau & Chantilly, France

Picked up a car and made our way from Dijon to Fontainebleau for a couple of days, and then headed to Chantilly
Chateau de Chantilly, originally built starting in 1528

One of the cute villages we drove through along the way, Eglise Saint Thibault

Can’t go to Chantilly without having Chantilly cream (along with chocolate dessert)

Sunday market in Fontainebleau

We started the morning with “royale” oysters and a glass of Chablis 

Our apartment. Hoppy in the window!

Bye bye to France with a Toast from Hoppy! 
Next up travel to see Whales and cold stuff!
