Fontainebleau

More nature! Well my friends and I took a pretty spontaneous trip to a small town called Fontainebleau yesterday. It's about 40 minutes outside of Paris via train. We arrived at the station and suddenly realized we had no idea where to go, so we asked around and found our way into the forest.

It wasn't hard at all to find the hiking paths, but we decided to make it a little more interesting for ourselves as you can see in the photo above. Although there was a clearly paved road, we decided to skip that and just scale a little hill. Our more adventurous short cut.

Erika, our botany expert explained a few things to us as we walked through the forest.

These last two photos are a couple of my favorite that I took with my camera that is slowly starting to lose it's life. We eventually found a lookout point that had a good view of the town and everything surrounding it.

Started feeling a little chilly so we went back to the train station and headed back to Paris. It was nice to be out of the city for a bit to breathe in some good clean air. It was also a very sunny day so I'm glad I didn't spend it inside.

Tomorrow's Monday so this week will most likely pass without exciting anything but then again, it's Paris so one never knows what to expect :)
