Day 11 – Paris 19 Sept 2013

The sun is poking through the clouds as we checkout and head for the train, 2 first class seats await on the 11:48 TGV to Paris. We make it to the station with plenty of time to spare and soon are seated on board and heading out into the French countryside.

The train first heads into the mountains outside Strasbourg, cuttings, tunnels and canals, the trees are starting to change color another month and the mountains will be very colourful.

From the mountains we head across the fields, corn and sunflowers fill the fields along with lots of cows. Scattered amongst the fields are small towns. Very picturesque.

Paris arrives in just over 2 hours and we leave the train at garde est. we pick up some Paris passes and head for the taxi rank, surprisingly for me there is no que. 20 euros later after surviving the Paris traffic we arrive at our hotel. Luckily for us the room I have booked is not ready so we are upgraded to a room on the 10th floor with a view of the tower.
