5 hours in Paris
It’s usual for
people visiting Paris to dedicate a day
in
visiting Versalles, or, extending the distance, one exhausting day
visiting the
most famous castles in the Loira Valley.
A lateral way of
thinking can lead towards a crazy, at least at first sight, idea: what
about making
a one-day trip by car to Paris while
enjoying a
week in central France?
The trick is
not to get-up too early in the morning. Leaving the hotel in Blois
at 7:30 am can put you near Paris
at 9:30 am, but not in the Champs-Elysees, but in a terrific
traffic-jam in the
“peripherique”. It’s better to go first to visit the Chartres Cathedral
and
then arrive Paris
for dinner at about 13:15.
The following
20 pictures were taken on 24th, August, 2006 in a period
of time of
less than five hours. Enough time to enjoy a lovely, maybe the
loveliest city,
in black and white.
