After lunch we were off to Château de Malmaison. Our boat was getting ready to leave port as we were heading to the Chateau.  We would meet up with them in Le Pecq later for dinner!

 This is a bridge that is over the Seine River that was destroyed by the French Resistance during 

WW II

 Can see our boat on the move in the bottom right hand of picture! 

 Here is a little history about Napoleon Bonaparte & Josephine's home! We had an excellent guide that made their whole story come alive for me today!
