Oh no! Our last full day in France

We started out our day with breakfast on the terrace at our timeshare.

Great timeshare, great location                                                                coffee and fresh croissants

Next we headed to the bus for our one hour bus ride to a Medieval town called Provins.  We were told about this town by the woman at the activities desk at the timeshare.  The bus ride to the town cost 1.8 euros ($2.60) -- the best deal we had since we have been to France. For 13.9 euros ($20.00) you got entry into all of the historical buildings plus a video guide with a GPS built in.  You followed the GPS map through the city and when you got to a building that was covered in the tour the video guide would play music, show a video, and start telling you about the building.  When you went inside it continued explaining the building and what it was used for.

Where are those restrooms?                                                             Time out for lunch.

We finished off the day with our bus ride back to the timeshare.  We made dinner and ate it on the terrace as we finished the wine and watched the sunset.
