Hello to anyone still reading,
This is the last entry for the trip, all are safely at home hopefully enjoying a lie in. Since my last post we explored Dijon quite a bit more and found a lot more depth to the place; the buzzing highstreet and modern town square balancing the sleepy tudor-reminscent old town where we were staying.

Paris however, proved to be much more exciting: a whistestop tour of monuments and landmarks - a sprinting finish to an amazing trip. The place that particularly struck me was the Arc de Triomphe; the fact that it was a historical text in itself and Phillips's stunning translation of Charles de Gaulle's inscribed speech. We also made a full sampling of baguettes, quiches and pastries and pronounced them delicious.

The trip back to England was relatively smooth and hearing the english accents at passport control was the perfect welcome home.

Big Thank you to my 3 good mates who made this trip possible, all the familys who chipped in and supported our adventures and all the people who gave us advice or wished us good luck.

Thanks for reading
See you later
james
