Saturday, September 25

Travel day to Paris - we hopped aboard the TGV - a hi-speed train that took us from Avignon to Paris in 2 hours and 40 minutes - normally an 8 hour drive. We settled in to our hotel - a charming place right in the heart of Ste. Germaine - again prime shopping area and right next to the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens. In the afternoon, our charming guide - Pierre, of course, led us on a 3 hour walking tour of the area - merveilleuse.
We stopped into a little bistro to warm ourselves up - wine naturally, since there has been a big change in the weather - a little cold and rainy. Wonderful dinner - again. Lots of wine was drunk by all and what was left we used for the party continuing back in the hotel. Tomorrow - free day for sightseeing.
