Welcome to Paris




The drive to Paris from Luxembourg was long. We decided to be stingy and take the route that avoids the toll roads. In hindsight, it probably wasn’t the best move.

We knew that we were finally approaching the city as the traffic started to get heavier and heavier. We thought that we knew what heavy traffic was, but driving into Paris at 5:30pm brings whole new meaning to the concept. It took us about an hour to drive four kilometers. While we were very thankful for a few thousand kilometers of practice at driving on the right hand side, we were still very relieved to finally arrive a the campsite.

Exhausted, we sat down and resolved to leave the van parked in the campground for the next five days, and avoid driving into Paris at all costs.
