So yesterday we took a day trip to see the chateau in Fontainebleau. We took an RER train from Gare de Lyon. The ticket situation was a little bizarre. Every single one of the automated ticket machines was for SNCF trains only (France's Nat'l rail lines), and there were close to 10 ticket windows open for purchasing SNCF tickets. But the train to Fontainebleau was RER (regional train). There was only one ticket line for RER trains, and it was very long. We missed our intended train, so had to wait for the next one. I'll spare you further details, but let's say it was confusing, and Sarah and I needed help. We asked at the information booth, which was indeed very helpful, but I did find it ironic that this huge fire breathing dragon was hanging directly over the information booth. Was it to scare off potential questions?
