Orleans is a small little town but it was Sunday and most of it was closed, luckily it was sunny for most of that day so walked around a bit. Giverny is where Monet's house and gardens are :). We also took the (high-speed) train to Brussels for the day, it was a bit more expensive than the bus but the bus was a 4-hour trip each way and this was slightly over an hour each way.Liz Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266416823806992499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985509248327880385.post-58503897296847830342012-05-10T06:32:49.113-04:002012-05-10T06:32:49.113-04:00Thank you so much for reading!

For my other recent trips, though (Giverny and Brussels) we just had regular seats.Liz Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266416823806992499noreply@blogger.com
