TGV to Paris

We are in Paris tonight, in a hotel overlooking the Gare de l'est.  It all looks lovely and Parisien, but we had to pass a couple of homeless folk on the way.  Not unlike Central, I guess.

We caught the TGV from Colmar to Strausbourg.  Then it was non-stop (apart from one halt to allow a train to pass) to Paris.  Speeds up to 320km, according to Kin Mun's Google Maps. One hour and 40 minutes for this part of the trip.

Our train!

And getting off.

It was all bigger and noisier than where we have been the last couple of weeks!
