Today we headed out on the subway to the end of the 1 metro line to the Château de Vincennes.
This is a great medieval building that is only 7km from the centre of Paris. It is in remarkably good condition for its age and was fantastic to explore. There was hardly any other people inside the dungeon (keep) so we were really able to explore without feeling rushed.
I always find it so interesting to explore buildings of this age over in Europe, which is the real history of the society I live in. In Australia seeing as the British invaded and took it over from the indigenous people quite recently (relatively in history), we do not have any of the medieval history that Europe has. It is interesting to think how the Australian Aborigines were living at the same time as the European medieval period. Vastly different lifestyles, yet each successful in their own way. Debatable as to which is the more successful or more sustainable, and arguably we will never know seeing as the European way of life has now taken over much of the world, especially Australia.
We dropped by the supermarket on the way home and picked up some food to make dinner back in our apartment. I also finally got around to booking accommodation for our upcoming single night in Zurich.
