We had an 8:23 am train from Arles to Paris where we changed trains (and train stations) for the Paris to Amboise leg of the journey. Amboise will be our home base for the next few days as we visit the chateaux in the Loire Valley. Everything went smoothly today, even the train station transfer as we walked from the Paris Gare de Lyon station to the Paris Gare D'Austerlitz station. We had 45 minutes between trains and by the time we got to Gare d'Austerlitz our train to Amboise was waiting on the track. Had a picnic lunch on the train with supplies we had bought the night before: baguette, prosciutto-type ham, goat cheese and olives. Tres French!!
The house we're staying at in Amboise is a charming 3-story affair. I'm in the bedroom on the third floor, while the other girls are in rooms on the second floor. It's the first time we've each had our own bedroom. All the VRBO homes we've rented for this trip have been great, but I think this one is the best of all. It has a nice patio area in the back where we sat this afternoon planning our time in the Loire Valley. Tomorrow we're renting a car and driving to the Chateau de Chenonceau.
