Thursday 24th July, Nantes to Paris

Had a relaxing start to the morning and headed over to the train station.
We had things much better sorted for this trip, waiting till we got to our carriage before folding the bikes. Not much luggage room on the TGV but the conductor helped us sort it out. We tracked a bit of the trip using google maps. Amazing to see how fast we were traveling through the countryside. We had lunch at a cafe down the road from Montparnase station where we arrived and headed off to cycle to the Eiffel Tower. Traffic was a bit crazy but nothing compared to Sydney!
Had the obligatory photo in front to the tower then headed off back to Antony to Olivier and Isabelle's. Isabelle had their baby daughter Paola on the 10th of July so we also met the new member of the family. A gorgeous little thing who is very good and sleeps through most of the night.
We had a picnic dinner in the local park, Parc de Sceaux with some of Isabelle's colleagues. It was another very hot day and the picnic in the park lovely.
