Up at 8am to pack & get our way to Kings Cross Station for the 1229 Eurostar trip to Paris The trip was smooth & fast with lots of typical French village scenery along the way Our pick up was waiting at the station with the name board & it was off to our apartment in Montmartre. ... 20 mins later our opinion of London traffic problems was lowered - Paris is a madhouse! as Heather said we know why cars have horns now!
