Day 2 - London to Paris

We got up at a sensible time and walked across the road to St Pancras to catch the Eurostar to Paris. They had unfortunately turned the experience into something akin to a airport experience but it wasn’t long until we were in our comfortable seats heading to Paris - arrived at the Gare du Nord around midday.

We had a 45 minute walk to the hotel through what were initially fairly quiet Sunday afternoon boulevards. After checking in, visiting the Bastille market and lunching we went for a walk along the Promenade Plantee (or Viaduct de Arte) an old railway line through the heart of Paris that had been converted to a floral walkway. Lots of interesting views from a slightly different perspective being at 3rd floor level.

We had a nice dinner at the Argentine restaurant Carne Santa near our hotel.
