Almost there! T minus 50 minus to Paris.
But how?
15 Agustus 2024, Perancis ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
But how do we get there from here? We love public transportation but man it’s hard to navigate for the first time sometimes. It took us almost an hour to figure out how to get to the OrlyVal…
Swimming… I don’t think so

Post dinner we took a walk. Here you can see the patio (with the red flowers) where we had dinner with a view. It is nice to have so much outdoor dinning in our life right now.
What a view!
