Following our carefully laid out plan to escape Dinan with roller bags with a minimum number of cobblestones (our little wheels need to last at least two more days), we make our way to Paris. It’s three trains with connect times less than ten minutes. As our host explains, French trains always run on-time, unless they don’t. At any rate, we make it to Paris with no issues, and hire a taxi to our next hotel.
We are staying in a 4 star barge on the Seine. The rooms are more like what you would find on a ship, but a 4 star ship. As an example, the shower stall is less than 2’x2’ but there is a control panel where you set the ambiance with a color wheel. They had a Sunday brunch at €49/pp but we opted (apparently I opted) for a crème fraîche, mozzarella, pine nut and honey pizza with arugula on top at a local brasserie.
There is a new film on Netflix, Under Paris. I shouldn’t give any spoilers, but it’s about a huge Mako shark that accidentally ends up in the Seine. As we look out our window to see if we see any fins, dinner cruises come right by the window, everyone waves at us. Little do they know what lurks below them!
