Paris

Arrived in Paris.... To a shit hotel in a worse neighbourhood... Drug dealers on the corners, one shower for the whole "hotel", toilets in the main spiral staircase with no toilet seats and peep holes in the walls... Lovely introduction to France!
Dismay, shock and horror in the "hotel" in Montmartre, Paris

The city of crepes, baguettes, creme brulee, creme caramel, fromage and vin (and necessary crash course in French)....


Things looking up the next day with a porcine looking pastry! Almost too good to eat!!!

Did a whirlwind four days... Most of the touristy stuff, got to catch up with Ren, PLENTY of walking and lots and lots of eating of course.... Here's a few photos....

Matt and Ren at the Louvre
Tour d'Eiffel..... Never expected it to be as big as it was




Monuments such as this don't even make it onto the map in Paris!! Matt, Ren and Corey


Drinks at Parisian brassierie... Ordered many rounds of "la meme chose, sil vous plait"



Dozy afternoon on the hills outside the Louvre
Picked up Renault Modus on last day in Paris, and headed South (after about 5 laps of the airport... Driving on the right took a bit of getting used to!)

A man and his Modus
A bientot!
