Thu 24 Jul- 'L'Hostellerie de La Dague' in Barbizon

Thu 24 Jul- after a nice continental breakfast, we packed and departed for our next hotel. We stopped in Etapes for lunch at the 'Auberge de France'; we had beers and the hors d'ouvres buffet, a nice selection of different foods, lots of seafood choices that were fresh and tasty, and lots of vegetables with the selections.
We continued to our hotel, 'L'Hostellerie de La Dague' in Barbizon, just south of Paris very near Chateau Fontainebleau. We were disappointed in the hotel, for the price we paid we expected much more. There wasn't even an elevator, so luggage became an issue. Still, the location is very good, near the gardens we'll visit, and Barbizon is an arts town, with many galleries and several museums, including Rousseau and Millet, lots of restaurants, hotels, cafes and other shops, and the other end of town begins the Forest of Fontainebleau Chateau.
