April 09, Paray Le Monial

For the first time it was a late morning start for the team as the day to the town visit began at 10.30am.The day began with the visit at the sacred heart Basilica built in the 11th century followed by the visit at the Hotel de Ville(Mayor's office) which was built in 16th century -a magnificent architectural construction and there was a bit of shopping as we passed by the market area.
It was a splendid experience of having lunch on the boat while sailing in the Canal for three hours. The boat crossed the river and there was a change in the water level with the help of water locks.
Also visited a bowling club and a farm which was more of an Old Mac Donald's farm that children learn in their school days. It had everything from pigs, sheep, goats, hens, birds, horses, dogs and cows...and the farmer is just 38 years old...operating in 25 hectares of land with a huge family!!!!
