Every year in Chantilly there is the famous Prix de Diane horse race and it’s quite the event. We had friends who went last year and had such a great time that they gathered a bunch of us to go back again this year. The horse track is in Chantilly on these beautiful grounds with a chateau in the background. You purchase a ticket and sit on a grassy area next to the track and picnic all day. Oh and everyone gets all dressed up with hats too which makes it even more fun. We had a group of about 10 of us (including Robin and Dave who happened to be back in Paris visiting!) that all headed to Chantilly for some picnicking in the sun while watching the horse races. It’s only about 25 minutes by train from Paris so not bad at all. Well in theory not bad but when there is a train strike in France it makes it a little more difficult (thanks France). It was touch and go there for a second but we made it to Chantilly and had such a great day.
And the race this year happened to be on Father’s Day so what better way to celebrate Nate’s first Father’s Day then doing what he loves…..drinking wine, eating cheese and hanging out in the sun.
Josephine was, as usual, a great traveler and enjoyed the festivities as well. What a fun experience!
Happy Father’s Day Nate! 6 months in and you're already rocking this father thing. Josephine and I are so lucky to have you!
