I smiled my way through the city to Montparnasse....loving the gorgeous buildings, with their lovely roofs, doors and balconies, and taking in every little French cafe I passed.
At Montparnasse train station I befriended Ghistain from Descartes who helped me to find my way on to the very fast French train (TGV) which would take me to Biarritz!
I am amazed! so far no one has stamped my passport, nor looked at my train ticket and I have been in Paris for several hours.
I have found France VERY quiet except for the announcements at the airport, train station and on the train. After such long flights, it is nice to be in silence :-) It makes it easy to notice things with my eyes and I am sure it has helped me to stay calm and arrive safely in lovely Arbonne, with ALL my gear (for those who know me well this is quite an achievement :-).
