Tuesday the 18th was yet another strike day, but fortunately the Metro line 1, the nearest to the apartment is fully automated and reasonable immune to strikes. About 20 minutes east to Vincennes, a village just outside with peripherique with a large forest and a well preserved Chateau/Donjon. After visiting the Chateau, lots of stairs and empty stone rooms, it was off to the local outdoor market and then coffee and lunch at a sidewalk cafe. My friend Emi, who lives in Vincennes and I met on the Camino came to join us. A walk around in the Parc Floral and then back to St. Paul via Metro.
