Paris by Night

Long drive from Lucerne to Paris. It’s the last weekend of the French school holidays and with the Paralympics on, traffic was expected to be heavy. Rudy, our driver, took some back roads into Paris but it still all up took 9 hours including breaks.

Group dinner out to a French Restaurant, very nice, onion soup was a meal in itself.
