It was great to get to Paris Charles de Gaulle airport after 12 hours on Air France from Tokyo. I did manage to watch the latest James Bond, Arnie and Bruce Willis movies and the food and drinks were very good but it’s a long time. We stayed at the Ibis hotel at the airport and had a good sleep. Next day we caught the bus into Montparnasse station in Paris, had lunch with one of Pauline’s workmates and her husband, then caught the train to Rennes where we picked up a rental car and drove to our house in Josselin. The house is looking good although a bit dusty as we had an electrician in and also a builder. But they’ve both done an excellent job. Here’s a few photos from our first few days. The mopeds were at an excellent Brocante or second hand shop not far from here which has an amazing array of stuff like grandfather clocks, old radios, old racing bicycles, crockery, books, everything really. We bought another duck, and a coathook for our hall that matches the age of the house rather well.
