Discovering Montmartre

A Saturday in Paris again with no particular destination and just wanting to discover more of what the city had to offer.

We enjoyed a wonderful day strolling the many streets (more than 18000 steps and 12 kilo-meters) a delicious lunch in a quaint, rustic cafe located in the "Passage Panoramas" and later I left Monsiuer Honey with his coffee while I trekked uphill with many thousands of tourists to see "Sacre Coeur".

                

Tomorrow (Sunday, April 26th) we are off to visit the Louvre!

At the Paris Cafés.

I love the different colours, shapes, sizes and textures of the Paris café chairs!

And of course each one has a different view!

Where would you choose to sit at to enjoy your coffee or apero? 

Travelling to the Lot Valley

We said "Au revoir à Paris!" this morning ... or should I say "à bientôt!".

Today we are travelling by train from Gare d' Austerlitz Paris to Cahors. 

I have many more "Postcards" to write from Paris and will do over the next few days.

Petit déjeuner à la gare.

Which train will we take?

Some views from our train window ...

It was a five and a half hour journey with five short stops along the way ... les Aubrais - Orléans, Limoges, Brive, Soulliac and Gourdon arriving in Cahors shortly after three in the afternoon, where we picked up our rental car.

Ah on the road in Cahors the capital of the Lot Valley... 

Stay tuned for more "Postcards from the Lot".
