Day 5: June 29, 2024
The sun continued to shine down on us early-risers, as we made our way by coach, across London, to the St Pancras International Eurostar Terminal. Once we had passed through security and the British and French passport control, we boarded our train to Paris. Travelling at up to 186mph, we passed through the rolling hills of the Kent countryside, under the English Channel and, after a good sleep(!), we awoke in Paris! Bienvenue! (Welcome!)
Our coach took us to our hotel in the business district, from where we could see the Eiffel Tower! After checking in, we caught the train into central Paris, close to Notre Dame Cathedral, where we stopped for some photos, and to enjoy continued sunshine. We visited St Michael's Fountain, and did some souvenir shopping on the banks of the River Seine, before dinner. We enjoyed grilled chicken and mash, and cake, for dinner, before heading back to our hotel for a deserved sleep!
