We always knew that leaving the last of our trip to go the furthest north & arriving in Paris in October was risky & so it has proved to be. We'd been watching the Paris weather from Couze & it has been showery & so it was when we landed.
Given the weather we decided not to use the trains to find our way to our apartment, but to take a cab. Despite getting the silent treatment from the driver & experiencing an amazing traffic jam (roads closed on the Ile de la Cite) we got there eventually.
The appartement (as the French would call it) is a classic "bed sit" - large room with all the bedroom, couch and dining table all in together. It has a galley kitchen & is functional, reasonably well placed to get to everything, but has little charm. As we'd just arrived we didn't feel like going out for dinner, so found a Carrefour just across the road, bought some staples & had an appetiser of salmon rillett, green olives & some nice cheese with a bottle of french red, followed by the very classy toasted ham & cheese for dinner before falling into bed.
So - it is off to see the sites for the next few days - weather dependent.
