After a disappointing breakfast at Le Zimmer (£5 for a pot of tea £12 for toast, an orange juice and a croissant) we walked up to Les Halles where probably the largest inner city renewal programme is in full swing. We ventured into Sainte Eustace church which was magnificent and overwhelmed us.
We shop windowed in Rue de Honore especially in Mulberry and Gucci but were not persuaded.
We took a cab to Gare du Nord walked a few 100 metres from the tat which surrounds it and found a friendly slightly down at heel restaurant and had a delightful lunch.
Most of the passengers on board our Eurostar slept their way to St Pancras which we reached in a blink of time.
Next up Berlin or St Petersburg......
