Weekend in Paris

Gleaned from Our Travel Notes
10.3.95:
Flight to Paris compliments of "Airmiles" to find Christian at the airport with Philippe's car. Champagne in the hotel and then an apéro with Frank and Laurence. Dinner of crêpes "Chez Jeannine".

11.3.95:
Breakfast with les enfants and then a sunny day out around Montmatre. Dinner with Frank, Laurence, Valérie and Guilhaume. Birthday presents for Papa.

12.3.95:
Breakfast down the road from the hotel. Plans to meet Christophe and Valérie off their plane from Tunisia didn't work out. Had a splendid lunch out in the country, taking our dessert and coffee out in the garden. Followed it up with a walk in the nearby country park. Christophe and Valérie finally arrived at our hotel bearing birthday gifts at midnight, their flight having been horribly delayed.

13.3.95:
Did some supermarket shopping for goodies to take home. Had lunch with Christian's colleague Jean-Marie at La Defense. Of course, while there, we had a visit to the office and then met up with Philippe to return the car keys. Return flight, laden with bottles went without a hitch apart from some rather smelly cheese odours wafting out from our cabin baggage!
