Had a very full day today, was up early hoping to get into Notre Dame before the crowds. That did in fact work and at 8:30am after walking through the rat maze went in with no lines whatsoever. It is very clean and bright inside, but amazingly you can still smell a smoke/burned smell. After that a brief stop back to the apartment and then took the train from Gare de Lyon out to Fountainbleau, 40minutes, and a bus from that station to the Chateau. This is an amazing chateau. In most Chateaus you visit, it is a series of large, usually empty or near empty stone rooms, which makes the interior not very interesting. In this case, every room is completely restored, and there are many! After a doing the walk through, I walked in to the town and found a place for lunch. Then a stroll and bus ride back to the train station and back to Paris.
