Today started very early, with a 5:20am wake up, then a taxi to Orly, flat rate 32 euros plus 7 euro dispatch fee. Just as well it was prearranged as all cabs were booked this morning due to the big strike. Got checked in in short order and through security at Orly fairly rapidly, although the French have still not grasped that an X-ray machine allows you to see through things and they don’t need to be in a clear bag…. Plane was a small regional jet, and it was late to arrive and late to leave, but flight time was only one hour, so we ended up right on time. My arranged taxi from Conques was waiting for me and we zipped through the rain back to the hotel I stayed in last time I was here. Room of course not ready and off and on raining and chilly outside. Eventually got my room, but not without the luggage transport people stopping by and mistakenly attempting to transport my suitcase to the next stop a day early. Caught them before they left town and got it back. Weather seems to be clearing so hopefully tomorrow won’t be too wet.
