Today we travel to Paris from Monaco by train.
By good management (or luck) our hotel was a short walk to the train and it was 9:15 train so very convenient. Monaco has a massive train station with walking tunnels snaking out all over town. There is also one SNCF track which meant we had no change needed to Paris.
Train trip was great, sunny day with excellent scenery though I watched Zero Dark Thirty on my new MacBook Air. Anyway the 6 hour rip felt like nothing.
Arrived a bit late as train had problem en route but very happy with Barbies choice of hotel, Bellchasse which is right next to Musee D”orsay . Hotel done in Christian Lacroix theme which is really out there.
Arvo just spent acclimatising to Paris and I found a restaurant by luck hat matched the highly recommended list - called Latiere - small, family affair which French/Japanase cuisine - a Cote Rhone red from Vaucluse was incredible. They do really refreshing entrees - watermelon , mint, goats cheese and pine nuts with oil - zoo good. Barbie hankered for beef and she had boef and pommes de terre.
I forgot - we squeezed in a visit to Rodins Garden which was just up the road.
