I'm a sucker for medieval stuff. That's why I decided to lead a trip to Provins, a walled medieval town just outside of Paris. It ended up, over the course of the day, that all but one of my Primates classmates came on my trip. It was a little weird being the leader, since I have no sense of direction whatsoever. But I armed myself with a map and self-confidence, and I bravely led my classmates.

The coolest part of the town is the medieval walls, as well as the medieval tower.

The other highlight of the trip was a show, "La Legende des Chevaliers"--the Legend of the Knights. It was your usual cheesy, good vs. evil, knight saves princess story, but played out in front of a real 12th century walls. Pretty neat.

All of this, a mere train ride outside of Paris.
