We've hit a cold patch in the journey again. And today started out rainy, which always complicates things.
But our enthusiasm for this city is undimmed.
Favourite sights:
Whenever you see this shape of fortification on a map, it's like reading "Vauban was here"
The Monument to Carrier Pigeons, honouring "the thousands of Allied avians that served and died for France during World War I"
Hot chocolate and an almond croissant
The birthplace of General Charles de Gaulle
The little square where we enjoyed a brief moment of sunshine on an otherwise raw day
It's such a shame it's all been so brief...
But we have a destination to reach, and we need to crack on.
Tomorrow -- London.
We hope, anyway... The latest information says our Eurostar is running. We'll just have to wait and see.
