France - day 13

And then it was time to leave Perros Guirec and travel to Paris again for our last night in France...

We first spent 15 minutes on this little diesel train of which I now also have a model ;-) After a short changeover we sat on a TGV for 3.5 hours and ended up in Paris later afternoon.

We took the metro to Montmartre for a Blitz visit (but not after a stop at a Thai restaurant to inhale some vegetables). First on the list was the Sacre coeur.

Later we visited the famous painter's square of which I forgot the name. Since we're not here on a daily basis I wanted to sit down and have a coffee here. I knew it would be expensive. And it was: E7.50. At least we had some very nice, live jazz music to enjoy.

France - Day 1

Today marjolein and I went on vacation to France. On the map above are the places we planned to visit. First Paris then Bayeux (Normandy), St Malo (Britanny), Perros Guirec (Britanny) and Paris again.

We had an early arvo Thalys to Paris.

It only took 3.5 hours!

Because we only had 1 night here we quickly went out after finding our hotel and dumping our bags. The hotel was close to the Eiffel tower and I planned a little walk along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées up to the Arc de Triomphe and then to the Eiffel tower and to the hotel again. We reached the Arc early evening.

It got dark while we were at the Eiffel tower but that made the little lights all the better :-)
