Surrounding Places


I have had an amazing time traveling since I stepped off that plane at Charles de Gaulle. Since I have been here I have been to London, Italy and Greece. I had the most amazing time in London it was my first big trip and I had a great time walking past Big Ben, riding the London Eye, seeing Parliament and everything else London has to offers! Especially the fish and chips! Italy and Greece have a very special place in my heart as well but LETS BE REAL I don't have a lot of money to be able to travel around every weekend so a lot of the time my friends and I will take little weekend trips to the towns nearby to go shopping have lunch or just have a mini adventure.
Blois is just a bus ride away 2euro there and back. It offers great shopping and great sandwiches! Blois is a really great day trip place to go. We leave about 8 or 12 in the morning and take the bus back around 5 but of course the bus schedule changes so make sure you check the schedule online before you head out.
Tours is another town nearby you can get there by train it has endless stores for shopping. Just about a whole street is dedicated to department stores. Tours is a good place to go if your in serious need of a new wardrobe or you just want to have a bigger place to explore with your friends. Tour was my first weekend trip and I had a great time but if you do decide to stay the weekend make sure you can check in to your hotel as soon as you get there. Not like my experience with my friends where we had to lugg our backpacks for four hours before we could check in and then had to checkout 6 hours before our train left. Is just about the least fun thing you can do.

This picture is of a few friends on a night out in Tours.
