First class on the TGV


For those who know me well it will be a total surprise that I am traveling first class on the trains. I do not know why, it just happened, but I have to admit it is a wonderful treat. After settling into my luxurious seat on the TGV bullet train from Munich, I was informed that as I was going all the way to Paris breakfast was included in my ticket. It came in a beautiful raspberry striped box and included smoked salmon with two poached eggs, fresh yoghurt with a black-currant mousse, and a croissant with a small jar of apricot jam.

Had the afternoon and evening in Paris by myself as Debbie was not arriving until the following morning, so I did the Eiffel Tower and Champs Elysee then ate a wonderful lamb shank with a puree of celery root and potatoes at a Bistro close to the hotel. The perfect ending to my day.
