It’s the middle of the night, and it’s been the middle of the night for days as we’ve made our way from LA to Paris to Dijon by car, plane, train and foot. I’m sleeping in three-hour increments — more time to post on the blog?
Au revoir, California!
After a few hours of sleep on the plane, I woke up in the darkness over the Atlantic to watch our progress. The sunrise was beautiful as we soared over the clouds and sea.
We arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport around 11 AM Paris time and made our way through customs, and baggage claim, picked up some euros at the ATM, and took a taxi through horrid traffic to Gare de Lyon, where we waited for our train to Dijon. We are pretty wiped out, so the days are a bit of a blur, but lunch in an outdoor cafe and the stunning old train station made us feel more certain the adventure has begun.
At the train station, we activated our Eurail passes and our esim service for our phones.
The TGV inOui train is a high-speed way to travel — less than two hours to Dijon, where we arrived in the early evening.
Dinner al fresco means Thai food and Singha beer across the street from our hotel in Dijon Ville.
Finally, introducing a new blog feature: Pastry of the Day!
Air France serves mini pastries and macaron after dinner, and mini croissants when the sun comes up.
What kind of pastry will we find tomorrow?
