I have touch base with many of its monuments and attractions and even written posts on them, but these are new pictures on a new visit, again, this is my Meaux !!! Let me tell you about my always Meaux !!! 

The City of Meaux is less than 50 km from Paris, and about 25 minutes from Paris-Est station by train or less than an hour by car, It is, also, 21 km ,and about 20 minutes from Disneyland Paris by the A4 Autoroute/highway by car as taken many times. And I was back, in my always Meaux !!! Yes !!!

Meaux

This time went paying tolls on the usual D768 to connect with the N24 and around Rennes on the beltway N136,then N157 until tolls at the A81 past Laval, then A11 Le Mans to the A10 dir Paris however, here took my experiences out of the gps and took the Francilienne N104 further out from Paris as this City has become a driver’s dump due to policies of the local lords, took briefly the A5b to connect to the A4 dir Metz/Nancy until the exit to Meaux on the A140 which then becomes the D360 to Meaux centre and our parking at bd Jean Rose before passing briefly by the Hôtel de Ville of Meaux, Wonderful route in a bit over 5 hours leaving home early to avoid rush hour at arrival, My fav Parking Indigo Jean Rose 1 at Boulevard Jean Rose, and Rue Tronchet, by the ramparts, The parking is free from Monday to Saturday from 12h. to 14h. and from 19h to 9h. This site is free every Sunday ! Nice and easy does it!

On the way back, we had more time and seen all, we took the free route or no tolls, We took off from our final destination Disneyland Paris (see posts later), and got on the A4 towards Paris but got off again at the N104 Francilienne road dir Lieusaint but follow signs for Bordeaux/Nantes and then Versailles/Rouen connecting north with the road N118 passing the town of Orsay ,you connect briefly with the A86 road before coming into our wonderful N12 dir Dreux passing memorable towns such as Vélizy-Villacoublay , Versailles, Elancourt, Saint Quentin en Yvelines ,Houdan, Dreux, Nonancourt, Alençon, Mayenne, Fougéres, and landing on the A84 road towards Rennes,then N24 towards Lorient and home on the D724 by Camors, D768 by Baud and finally home in about 6 hrs plus,nice ride as always,

The works, usual routing networks tells you, can access Meaux on the roads by the A4 Paris/Metz-Nancy , A1 Paris/Lille, A5 Paris/Dijon, A104 (Francilienne) ,et A86 (rocade autour de Paris, Via the A4 autoroute/highway, you can go to Meaux from Paris by the A4 towards Metz-Nancy. It will take you out of Paris from the south. After 50 km of highway, exit the A4 towards the A140 towards Nanteuil-Meaux then towards Meaux-Centre becoming the road D360. Meaux will welcome you with an impressive view of its Saint Etienne Cathedral (St Stephens), You can get to Meaux from Reims by the A4 autoroute/highway towards Paris. After 97 km of highway, exit the A4 towards the A140 towards Meaux-Centre, becoming the road D360. When you arrive in Meaux, enjoy the panorama of the Saint-Étienne Cathedral. And Via the A1 and the A104: You can also take the A1 towards Lille-Charles de Gaulle Airport if you want to exit Paris from the north. You will then leave the A1 for the A104 towards Soissons-Marne la Vallée then you will take exit 6b towards Meaux. Once on the N3 you will exit towards Meaux-Centre becoming the road D603 The best parking is by the ramparts on the Parking Indigo Meaux Jean Rose at 1 Boulevard Jean Rose,

And have a couple more pictures that need to have it here on this post of my always Meaux. Never to forget the house where I first met my dear late wife Martine 36 rue Noefort,and the rue du Général Leclerc we walked for so many times together and with family. Memories forever, and a must to stop by when in the area. Hope you understand. Thanks

Also,a great inexpensive alternative to Disneyland only about 20 minutes away by car. Do see my other posts on Meaux. I will always remember Meaux, and Seine et Marne dept 77, Again, hope you enjoy this post on curiosities of Meaux,part IV !!! as I,

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
