Provins

Provins (my first stop in Europe) turns out to be a very attractive medieval town around 60 miles east of Paris (or should that be 96km?). At the centre of many major medieval trading routes, it was one of the richest towns of 13th century France.

Highlights include the ramparts, the Tour César and the Église Saint Quiriace, pictures to follow.

Other tourist highlights include the American-style tourist train, ferrying sedentary visitors between such spectacles as the information centre and 'Arkangai: Les Cavaliers des Steppes' pictures definitely not following...
