Biking through the Bois

Tonight G. and I went for an amazing bike ride through the Bois de Vincennes, on the eastern edge of Paris. We passed the chateau de vincennes which was immense, it's quite ridiculous to realize how stinking rich the royals actully were when you come face to face with one of the places they built. K. leant me her grandmother's sea green pugeut bicycle and it's so perfect for tooling around the city, though it shakes and shudders, I feel so free being able to explore the city by bike.
