“The Bergerie National”:

To enter the National Sheep Farm with the trucks was really complicated.

The rooms were quite old but we slept well in the beds.

In the morning, breakfast was not great because there was no half-salted butter and no coffee.

We went for a walk on the farm and saw different animals. It was very pretty.

“Visiting Rungis Market”:

Rungis is the biggest market in Europe.

We wore a blouse and a protective hat to visit the buildings.

We took the bus to get from one pavillion to another because they were so far apart.

I didn’t enter the flower pavillion because I am allergic to pollen!

The guide told as that it is important to speak English in Rungis.

“Visiting  the motorway services: Vinci Autoroute”:

The motorway police unit showed us their interception vehicle, the Megane RS!

I sat in the car, it was impressive and comfortable.

The police explained the penalties you risk if you drink alcohol or take drugs when you drive.

We also saw a heavy duty tow truck and placed traffic cones on the tarmac at a road work.

The tow truck driver told us that it was important to speak English because all nationalities drive on the motorway.

We travelled from Rambouillet to Paris by train .

There were a lot of people and we couldn’t sit down in the train.
