On Saturday I got to take a fun day trip from Paris to Provins, a town which takes you back to the medieval times! Only an hour away from Paris, it is quite a change of scenery! It is also listed as a UNESCO heritage sight and once you arrive you can see why. Provins is also known making a variety a products made of roses such as rose jam, honey, ice cream, and even macarons!
The Bell Tower of Notre-Dame-du-Val: It is all that is left of the church of Notre-Dame-du-Val which was destroyed during the French Revolution.
Jardin Garnier
View of the town and Saint Quiriace Collegiate Church which was once attended by Joan of Arc

Remaining architecture from the medieval period in the city center

Enjoying rose ice cream in the middle of the street!
Walls that still remain
The huge wall continues pretty far after that opening

Open fields! I'm not in Paris anymore! :P
