Frédéric knew about a new playground they had installed there, so we figured the kids would like that. To our dismay, we found the play areas padlocked when we got there, with an official note from the Mayor's office saying that the play areas were not yet opened because their completion hadn't been signed off on yet.
Instead, we walked over to see the water wheel, and then walked in the park between the canals.
We visited the slightly lesser known "Eiffel Bridge" (yes, designed by the same Gustav as the Eiffel Tower).
And then headed up to check out the castle ruins before heading back home to get out of this crazy heat... I know to most of you in the US it will sound like nothing, but 82°F is a big deal when you're used to summers in the high 60°s, with thick cloud cover and rain!
We had a lovely bit of quiet time after we got home, then let the kids go in the pool for a while before dinner. Then Tin Tin, dinner, and bed!
