It was time to clean up and head for Paris for the final part of the trip. TGV was right on time, and not crowded. Amazing from Tours to Paris in 1.5 hours! Fast, quiet and smooth. Trying out one of Annie Sargent’s (Join Us in France) recommended hotel, the Hotel des Grand Balcons, Just up from Odeon. Small but serviceable room at a reasonable price, for Paris. Went by to check out the Samaritaine remodel, spectacular, but now full of store with nothing you need, Fendi, Gucci, LV etc. etc. Then walked over to the newly remodeled Hotel de La Marine, but opted not to do the tour. Lovely dinner with friend Emi from the Camino and, Leslie and Tom from NH had booked at the same place, Les Enfants Rouge, and were at the next table! Unfortunately, the #4 line closed for work, so getting home was a long walk!
