High speed rail is really fabulous when it all goes to plan. I made it from Central Bordeaux to Central Paris in a few minutes over 2 hours. 584km/363miles which would have taken 6 hours by car. That’s and average speed over 180mph! This was a non stop so no fooling around. Then out of Montparnasse to my favorite 96 bus which goes straight to my Apartment. All good with the apartment, and I immediately got a load of wash going, picked up some things to eat and went out for a crepe. After regrouping, headed over to Ile St. Louis and walked around a bit before taking the bus towards St. Germain for some tasty snacks at L’Avant Comptoir du Terre. After that, a quick walk around St. Germain and then a bus back to the Marais.
