Day 5: Paris a la motorvelo!

Before heading back to Challans, Doc took me for a tour of Paris on his motorcycle. If you have ever ridden with this man you know that I was truly taking a risk hopping on this cycle with him. It was AWESOME! The best way to see the city. We saw all the little arrondisments and Doc told me the story of his younger years in Paris... Place des vendomes, where Marie Antoinette lost her head, the famous bridges, the little intricacies... all of it!

I had seen all the sights with the girls, but there's something different about riding along the Seine and then quick turning to fly through the square of the Louvre. --- liberating... vive la france! It is so full of life.---- from then grabbed the TGV and headed out to Challans where I am tonight. Chilling alone in France for the first time. It feels nice and now, I'm going to get some rest. It is 2am after all. Though I'm learning this is a typical bedtime for most Parisians :{ ) That's my best smiley for the french.

Bonuit.
