At 7.30 am we boarded our short one hour flight to Charles De Gaulle, Paris. Forty-five minutes later we’d passed through customs and collected our bags. We were not required to complete an entry card, they just checked our passport, stamped it and we were done – Easy! Add another 30 minutes working out the trains. How soon we forget! Another 30 mins dragging suitcases a relatively short distance across Paris in the general direction of the apartment and we finally arrived! Then another 2 hours receiving a very thorough handover of the apartment from the owners and then we were finally free to start exploring this amazing city. Our apartment, which is in the 1st arrondissement, is literally down and across the road from the Louvre. We look out the windows directly at the Royal Parish Church Eglise St Germain L’Auxerrois built between the 13th and 14th centuries in a mix of Gothic and Renaissance Styles. On the back of the small block we are on is the Seine River.
