jan 25




it's a mix of civilization and farmland. i decided to take a bit of a detour north so that I can run alongside the river Seine yet again. Also because there's a couple of towns which are a lot more interesting than just running through more fields.

oh my. this is on my list of absolutely must see in person. such a history. such a library. wow.

Through Fontainebleau. this is considered a suburb of Paris, after all, I'm only 56 km away as the crow flies. Feels like ages ago. 

The palace of Fontainebleau is so absolutely stunning. Home of kings and queens, can you imagine living in something like this? Or calling it your "second home"?
