007 Travel story: Paris (FRANCE) 2013, days 6-7/7: Château de Chantilly & returning to Finland

Thursday 17th of November 2013
Breakfast at the EST hotel Paris (49 Boulevard Magenta, 400.00 euros / 4 nights, no breakfast included, reserved via booking.com. This hotel charged a city tax of 1 EUR / person / night) again and after that we walked to Gare du Nord. On the way we took our postcards to post office. Then we traveled by train to Chantilly (round trip for three people was 15,50 EUR and return journey was five euros more for some reason). We went to pick up some brochures from Chantilly tourist information office and we studied a map a bit.
We continued walking towards the Château de Chantilly.
"The Château de Chantilly (pronounced: [ʃɑ.to də ʃɑ̃.ti.ji]) is a historic château located in the town of Chantilly, France. The site comprises two attached buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château, which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s. Owned by the Institut de France, the château houses the Musée Condé, which is one of the finest art galleries in France and is open to the public." (Wikipedia)

We took shots of the horse track and grandstand, since Max Zorin meets KGB's General Gogol here in the same movie.
"The château and the Great Stables were featured in the 1985 James Bond movie "A View to a Kill", as the home of villainous Max Zorin (played by Christopher Walken) which was being infiltrated by Bond (played for the last time by Roger Moore) in his quest to find out more about Zorin, who had already aroused suspicions of MI6 with various business activities, and ultimately eliminate him." (Wikipedia)

We went to the horse museum (Musée du Cheval), where daughter took some great pictures. Pirita had read an article "Give the camera to a child on holiday" on an airplane. And it was true, there comes the whole new perspective to the pictures through the eyes of a child.

After this, we went to the château restaurant La Capitainerie for a lunch and after that we hurried to Le Grandes Ecuries horse show. We already had advance tickets bought on the internet (price was 28 euros / adult and 17 euros / child). The ticket price included the horse show, entrance to the museum and also to the château itself. The duration of the horse show was about one and half hours. Mika and Pirita were very sleepy, but the show was good enough for the daughter. We were not allowed to take pictures or video of the show, but we were able to purchase a DVD from museum store if we wanted to. Show had plenty of skill and humor, but somehow the action was missing. Only some jumps were inspiring and interesting. Show advertised itself as a spectacle, but we thought it was not really a spectacle. In addition, Pirita got some allergy symptoms despite of medication she took before the show, so it was good that we were able to get back to fresh air after the show.
We walked to nearby gas station, where we took plenty of photos, because James Bond's sidekick Tibbet is killed there by May Day in the movie "A View to a Kill".

We walked back to the Chantilly train station and traveled back to the Gare du Nord and from there to the hotel. Then we took a taxi and drove to restaurant Le Boeuf Sur Le Toit, where we and a table reservation made already when we were in Finland. Bond eats in this restaurant in the John Pearson book "James Bond, the Authorized Biography of 007". We got a table number three, good food and fine service. During the dinner we were able hear someone playing beautiful songs with a grand piano near us. After dinner taxi was called for us and we returned to our hotel.

"During that Paris spring-time they went everywhere together – to see the horses run at Longchamp (where he was bored), to watch the twenty-four-hour race at Le Mans (where he wanted to drive) and to the latest show at Le Boeuf sur le Toit (where, for the first time in her life, she felt jealous)."

Hotel´s early breakfast was arranged just for us by Paul, who was really friendly as well. I addition, he had negotiated with three different taxi companies to be able to organize us transportation to Charles de Gaulle airport. Taxi transportations to airport were very popular and were sold out fast. After check out we traveled to the airport by taxi. It was a bigger taxi, where was already other people when we got in and also some more people were picked up after us. Driver seemed to be very sleepy and we were afraid that he will fall asleep during the trip. Fortunately, he didn't.
Terminals were far apart from each other. We traveled in the early morning, but we had to wait one and half hours on the plane due to weather conditions, before take-off. In the end, we reached Copenhagen, where we had to find out when the connecting flight leaves. However, we were able to reach Helsinki´s flight without problems. Other flights were smooth, but during this last part, there was some turbulence during the flight. After landing in Helsinki, we got our luggage among the first people. We found out that winter had come to Finland in the meantime. Again another successful trip done!

007-Matkakertomus:Pariisi (RANSKA) 2013: päivät 6-7/7: Château de Chantilly & paluu Suomeen
Aamupala taas EST-hotellilla (49 Boulevard Magenta, 400,00 euroa / 4 yötä, ei sisältänyt aamupaloja, varattu booking.comin kautta. Tämä hotelli veloitti kaupunkiveron 1 euro/hlö/yö.), jonka jälkeen käveltiin Gare du Nordille. Vietiin samalla postikortit postiin matkan varrella olevaan postitoimistoon. Junalla matkustimme Chantillyyn (menomatka kolmelta henkilöltä 15,50 euroa ja paluumatka jostain syystä viisi euroa kalliimpi). Kävimme hakemassa esitteitä Chantillyn turisti-infotoimistolta, ja tutkimme hieman karttaa.
Jatkoimme kävellen kohti Château de Chantillya.
Kuvattiin hevosrata ja katsomo, koska "007 ja kuoleman katse" -elokuvassa konna Max Zorin tapaa KGB kenraali Gogolin täällä.
Kävimme hevosmuseossa (Musée du Cheval), jossa tytär otti hienoja kuvia. Pirita olikin lukenut lentokoneessa artikkelin ”Anna kamera lapselle lomamatkalla”, ja totta, lapsen silmin tulee aivan uutta näkökulmaa kuviin.

Linnan pihalla oli minijunakuljetus halukkaille, me olimme sillä hetkellä ainoat. Teimme kiertoajelun linnan puistoissa, matka kesti 30 minuuttia ja maksoi 5 euroa aikuisilta/hlö. Keolis – firman kuljettaja päästi tyttären ilmaiseksi. Sitten menimme kiertelemään linnaa, ja kuvasimme Bond-kohteet edelleen "007 ja kuoleman katse" elokuvasta.

Tämän jälkeen menimme linnan ravintolaan La Capitainerie lounaalle, jonka jälkeen kiirehdimme hevos-showhun, nimeltä Les Grandes Ecuries. Meillä oli tähänkin ennakkoliput netin kautta, hinta 28 euroa/hlö aikuiset, 17 euroa / lapset. Lipun hinta sisältää sekä hevosshown että sisäänpääsyn hevosmuseoon ja itse linnaan. Esityksen kesto oli n. 1,5 tuntia. Mika ja Pirita olivat kovin unisia, mutta tyttärelle esitys kelpasi. Paikalla oli kuvauskielto, mutta innokkaimmat saivat ostaa dvd:n museon kaupasta, jos halusivat. Esityksessä oli taitoa ja huumoria, mutta varsinainen toiminta puuttui. Vain muutamat hypyt hevosen selässä jaksoivat hieman innostaa. Show oli mainostanut itseään spektaakkeliksi, mutta ei ehkä sen aineksia ollut. Lisäksi Pirita sai allergiaoireita ennakkolääkityksestä huolimatta, joten oli vaan hyvä, että pääsimme ulos.
Kävelimme läheiselle bensa-asemalle, siellä annettiin kameran laulaa, koska elokuvassa May Day tappaa Bondin apurin Tibbetin bensa-aseman autopesulassa.
Bensa-asema BP du Parc Aumontin
Menimme takaisin Chantillyn juna-asemalle, josta matkasimme takaisin Gare du Nordille. Kävelimme hotellille. Menimme taksilla illalliselle, meillä oli pöytävaraus jo ennakkoon tehtynä (klo 20.00) Le Boeuf Sur Le Toit – ravintolaan, jonka 007 vieraili John Pearsonin kirjassa "James Bond, superagentin hurja elämä".

Saimme pöydän numero kolme, hyvää ruokaa ja hienostunutta palvelua. Kuuntelimme illallisen yhteydessä kun joku soitti lähellämme flyygeliä. Ravintolan toimesta meille pysäytettiin taksi, jolla palasimme hotellillemme.

"Tuona Pariisin keväänä he menivät yhdessä kaikkialle – Longchampin hevoskilpailuihin (missä Bond pitkästyi), katsomaan Le Mansin kahdenkymmenenneljän tunnin kilpa-ajoja (missä Bond olisi halunnut ajaa) ja Le Boeuf sur le toitin uusimpaan show-näytökseen (missä Marthe ensi kerran elämässään tunsi mustasukkaisuutta)."

Hotellin varhainen aamupala oli vain meille, Paul oli sen itse järjestänyt ja kattanut. Lisäksi hän oli kolmen eri taksiyhtiön kanssa neuvotellut meille tilaa lentokenttäkuljetukseen Charles de Gaullen lentokentälle, ne kun olivat kovin suosittuja ja menivät hetkessä. Uloskirjautumisen jälkeen matkustimme taksilla kentälle, tila-autossa oli jo muitakin, ja lisää haettiin myös meidän jälkeen. Kuski pilkki matkan aikana, ja sai jännittää nukahtaako hän rattiin. Ei nukahtanut, onneksi. Terminaalit olivat kaukana toisistaan. Me matkustimme aamun varhaisina tunteina, mutta jouduimme odottamaan koneessa 1,5 tuntia, ennen kuin se pääsi lentoon. Koko kenttä oli ruuhkautunut huonojen sääolosuhteiden takia. Lopulta lensimme Kööpenhaminaan, jossa jouduimme selvittelemään monen muun tavoin jatkolentoa. Pääsimme kuitenkin jouheasti Helsingin lennolle. Muut lennot olivat tasaisia, mutta tämä viimeisin oli kovin turbulenssivoittoinen. Pääsimme kuitenkin Helsinkiin, ja kaikki me kolme saimme matkatavaramme ensimmäisten joukossa. Huomasimme talven tulleen Suomeen sillä aikaa. Pariisissa ilmat olivat vaihdelleet toppatakkikelistä t-paitasäähän. Taas yksi onnistunut reissu tehtynä!
