One of my favorite solo day trips during our week in Paris was visiting Chantilly, France. I hadn't prioritized this spot on previous trips because the "only" things to do in Chantilly were visit the castle and stables, learn about lace, stroll through the forest, try the infamous Chantilly creme...

Despite my best planning efforts, sometimes our travel adventures do not go according to plan. That was the case during my first free day in Paris, France, while Brian was attending his tradeshow. I had mapped out several day trips to towns across northern France, but when I showed up at the Montparnasse train station …
