Day 3 - Meaux and Cheese Tasting
We cast off early today to begin cruising to Meaux. As we
travel, perhaps make use of the bicycles on board by taking a ride
alongside the Raymonde if weather permits. We sail
slowly, and you have access to the boat at all times. After lunch
on board, we arrive in Meaux for a sightseeing tour that includes
the magnificent cathedral, the Bishop's Palace, as well as the
Gallo-Roman ramparts. We also take in the striking Bossuet Garden,
believed by many to be one of Le Nôtre's earliest works.
Later on we visit the Brie de Meaux exhibition room where we are
shown a film demonstrating how one of France's most famous and
popular cheeses is made. After this we taste some of this locally
made, distinctive soft cheese for ourselves. We return to the boat
following our busy day for a relaxing dinner on board. Overnight
ship.
