Yes, Paris is a busy place.

Fontainbleau, too.

Tell you what though, I'm going to stop listing former royal chateaus that draw crowds of hundreds of thousands of tourists before I even start. There's no need for it, no-one will benefit from it.

Just like the House of Windsor.

Can you imagine the area round Balmoral etc. getting the interest it does without the Monarchy?

 

Have you been? You wouldn't want to, unless you have an interest in kings and queens.

The place is beautiful, but heaving. It's like disneyland at times.

 

Mind you, the same could be said for Aviemore, and it's not got the royals!

 

 

I'm off back to my cave.

This street party is shit.

[Peasgood]

Food looks ok though.
