Day Ten - Nice - Paris





Today we had the opportunity to live like the locals & ride the French 'Bullet Train' - the TGV. En route from Nice to Paris, we saw some of the most spectacular scenery: Incredible coastal & mountain views. This is really the best way to travel the great distance from Nice to Paris! The TGV (Train a Grand Vitesse / High speed train) travels at an astonishing rate of 180 miles an hour!


After arriving in Paris, we travelled to our four star hotel (with the most comfortable beds EVER!) and had time to freshen up before our farewell dinner in beautiful, bohemian Montmartre. Escargots, french onion soup, duck l'orange & beef bourguignone were just a few of the delicious options for dinner. Oh and who can forget the incredible entertainment!? A cross between an aging Ozzy Osbourne and Rod Stewart, this wrinkly rocker was a real crowd pleaser and helped us to have one of the best nights of the whole trip! All in all a great way to spend our last night in the City of Lights. Au revoir Paris!
