While I’m in the UK I thought I would take the opportunity to visit my lovely neighbours from Perth in Paris! They had taken an apartment for three months in the 6th District.
I debated flying against the train, what a good decision I made in taking the train! There is complete and utter chaos at the UK airports due to technical issues with air control.
My journey started at Rayleigh, Essex to St. Pancras, this involved three trains and took just over an hour.
It was packed at St.Pancras but relatively easy to go through security and immigration. The journey to Gare du Nord takes just over two hours. The service was impressive with a light lunch being served with wine and coffee.
I hardly noticed that we had gone through the tunnel so when I checked my maps I realised I was already in France!
I arrived at Gard du Nord at 4 pm, where my friend met me. We took the metro back to the hotel I was staying at for the next three nights. I chose a hotel just five minutes away from them called Sevres Saint Germain, I loved it at first sight.
Leaving me to settle in, we agreed to meet at 6.30pm for dinner and plan my three day itinerary.
