The Gendarme (police) were there telling everyone that the train to Paris was free from Versailles. I wondered if it had to do with it being late the day before Bastille Day with celebrations starting that night. No one asked, we all just piled onto our free commuter train and went on our way.
Since we had pretty much just been on trains all day (a total of 8 by the end of it) I decided we needed to go to the upscale department store, Bon Marche.
I am glad we did. It was amazing to see suc beautiful clothes up close. And there was no one hovering, we were able to touch all of it. Exquisite silks, sequins and linens all. Isabella loved it.
She found a cute sweater in the women's department that was a mere 10 euros and so made a purchase at one of the fanciest stores we'd been in.
We looked at the beautiful pen selection, books, binders and my favorite school cartables (backpacks, the one I am most interested in is a horizontal rectangle that has super cute graphics or is made of leather). The kids clothes were fantastic, including the Chloe and Christian Dior items. The only disappointment, I could not find the fancy food section I had read so much about.
Alas, it was mostly a window-shopping trip, but well worth the trip.
