Easter Egg Hunt

Here are some pictures that we took while at an Easter Egg Hunt out in the 'burbs', "France" style. I find it amusing that there is this fabulous structure right outside the suburbs! This one was about an hour by train outside of Paris, plus a 15 minute car ride. It is called: Château de Breteuil. The Chateau features rooms created with  pretend figures, like one would find at an amusement park...

Here is some info I got from parisinfo.com:
Once upon a time there was a fairy-tale castle in the heart of the Chevreuse valley… and this one really does exist. The gardens and outbuildings of the Château de Breteuil host seven animated playlets featuring the wonderful characters of Charles Perrault’s tales... Take the time to stroll through this exceptional site and discover Cinderella and her prince, Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb, Donkey Skin and other beloved fairy-tale characters along the way, not to mention the 20 richly-costumed Puss in Boots figures that dot the itinerary. A professional storyteller is at hand on Sunday afternoons and every day during the Paris region school holidays if you’d like to hear the imaginative tales of your childhood once again.

A little maze the girls went through

 

The cat who represents Puss In Boots--kind of creepy if you ask me!



And I can't upload the rest of the pictures!
