For
the first (and only) time we weren’t on the 08.14 train to Paris. We had a lie in to catch the 09.51. Another first - we were booked to travel
first class.
Our journey, as is the norm
was on time and without drama. Our
arrival was in bright sunshine and after his customary ride on the on the
carousel we set off to explore Montparnasse market.
Danny found it difficult to choose something
to eat as there was so much choice. We
checked into Hotel Clairefontaine again and Danny had a fly around the patio
and balcony. With the sun shining we
decided to head to the Eiffel Fanzone to check it out for tomorrow. The Metro took us quickly from the Gait Metro
direct to the Eiffel. On exiting the
metro we were greeted by the impressive site of the Eifel Tower rising out of
the trees.
As we got closer we were able
to see the giant footballs hung below the Tower. There was no time to stop though because
Danny was pestering me get to the fanzone.
The sheer size of it amazed us both and the fact that it was closed in
preparation for the final tomorrow.
Overcoming our disappointment we walked around the boundaries of the
fanzone, fortunately Danny decided not to fly over the fence!! While I wasn’t looking Danny decided on a bit
of mischief and decided to put a sticker of the previous Barnsley manager, Lee
Johnson, on an entrance information board.
With that I thought that it was time that we headed back to
Montparnasse.
