The journey from Gare de Genève Cornavin, in Geneva into Gare de Lyon, Paris was rather uneventful. On board the TGV Lyria, we got time to catch up on sleep, play Uno and do a bit of reading. By evening our train rolled into Gare de Lyon, and it felt like homecoming! Yes, Switzerland did feel so unwelcoming at times!
We checked into our hotel to be greeted by Janelle, whom we had met last week. She helped us retrieve the bags we had left behind last week. After settling in, we went across Place Louis Armand on to Boulevard Diderot to grab a light bite. And we found a small eatery in a cubby-hole, run by Bangladeshis.
Man! People from the Indian sub-continent are everywhere!
Early this morning, we had to check out and head out again, this time to Fontainebleau, a commune 55 kilometres south east of Paris, Trains for Fontainebleau (or Fonty, as people lovingly call the place!) starts from Gare de Lyon - these are commuter trains which do not require a reservation, which made us relax a bit.
Why won't we be happy in Fonty?
