Paris1972-Versailles2003

An older post which gives me great pleasure in updating it. I was by Paris when an old friend of Real Madrid internet group we belong for several years finally made his way to Paris and just needed to see them in person. This was done and stayed a memorable moment in my life as well.  This is the brief story of that encounter. After all for a meeting Paris is ,also, a mouvable feast !!! Never stop appreciating its architecture, history,arts and culture, this is my eternal Paris. Therefore, let me briefly tell you about an old friend in Paris !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I

I was again by Paris yesterday, like so many posts before, the city never ceased to amazed me. More so because of a good friend from Algeria was coming over with his family and at least I had the opportunity to say hello , that is Paris the sublime meeting point of the world, or as Bogart used to say in Casablanca, We will always have Paris!!!

We had our drinks at La Terrasse resto on the place de l’école militaire, all there in the square is good and sublime. He came with his chemist wife and small child from Alger, Algeria. As a fan of Real Madrid ,he spoked Spanish too. It was a wonderful exchange of football, countries, jobs, the world. Memories forever.  The La Terrasse restaurant is a favorite of mine and not far from my world HQ office in Paris so it was a natural to meet there. A picture for the friendship and good cheers !

While in Paris, I had a sublime 10 floor views of the city from my office towards the Eiffel tower, and the Invalides Church. I walked around the Eiffel, and went around the école Militaire. Walking past Place Joffre you see of course still the Eiffel tower but also,a unique monument to Peace. This walking Paris is always good, and I did around these areas, walking in Paris is to live longer! I walked from my office to the restaurant above.

Of course, I came by TGV train from Auray this time to Montparnasse direct, as much as don’t like trains many times  I have no choice, I took the metro line 6 because it goes above ground on the way ok. However, on the way back, I took the wonderful bus 92 from place de l’école militaire to gare de Montparnasse , much better ride and wonderful Paris scènes ,above ground. I am still amazed at the number of visitors that insist on taking these trains, its like a tourist attraction lol !!! Then on the TGV from Montparnasse back home and  because of railroad tracks works after Rennes were under repairs, I had the distinct pleasure of taking the SNCF buses or cars. from the Gare de Rennes to Auray  in 2 hours ! nice ride as it was very late but boy going out of a train station to go to a bus station this late at night almost midnight was not my cup of tea even in the smallist station like Rennes. I arrive well at my car  in Gare d’Auray for the last 15 minutes trip home.

There you go folks , jotted down in my blog for the memories of always and good cheers with a good friend. Until we meet again, salut !! The La Terrasse is a great place to mingle and meet folks indeed. Again, hope you enjoy the brief event with an old friend in Paris !!! as I.

And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all !!!
