Exercise, European Style -- Specifically in France

In our city, Dijon, in France, there are no mountains and the beach is already closed for the season.  We don't have a back yard and Shawn is schooled at home.  So, how does Shawn get his exercise on a daily basis?

Here's a clue: Shawn's family does not have a car here in Dijon. 

What would your life be like if you didn't have a car?  How would you get to school?  How would your parents go grocery shopping?  How would they buy clothes and toys and presents for your birthday?  How would you get your exercise?

We would love to hear your ideas about this.  Please feel free to comment.

Stay tuned for photos of some of Shawn's favourite places to get exercise in our city...

So many big places to explore!



We usually have to run to catch the tram!
 
 



There were 17 benches to climb between the park entrance and the playground.

 
 
And of course, Shawn loved his trotinette...
