Mercure Beauvais 2m

... trop fatigué pour m'aimer, mais c'est pas grave... Anne Laure travaille à l'aéroport et me raconte tout le fonctionnement et les mésaventures que l'on peut rencontrer en temps que voyageur ou encore comme salarié de "Ryanair" (ou presque). Une mine d'informations partagées devant une bonne tartiflette... que du bonheur... surtout que j'ai été reçu comme un roi... une fois encore vive couchsurfing et merci à toi Anne Laure!

... at 2, so we decided to get a coffee and walk around. We found a lot of shops, and the cathedral, but we were dragging around our luggage, so we couldn't do much. Then we walked back to the train station to catch the bus at the airport. Once we were at the airport, more waiting. We had to wait to check in, and then we had to wait to board the plane. We flew Ryanair, and there are no assigned seats, so we were first in line and got seats in the front of ...

Vincent was waiting for us outside the Louvre and we were off to his home west of Paris. It is easy to understand Vincent's love for his home of Auvers-sur-Oise. Clean, quiet, and picturesque... As we arrived in Auvers-sur-Oise, we saw the SCJ building where he works. From there, it was on to his home for lunch. Vincent and Rose "wined ...

I took the Eurostar train to Paris on Thursday afternoon right after class. It was a great way to travel and it was a good way to see the countryside as well! I got to the train station and it was night time and I needed to wait for Steph which was a little intimidating to wait by myself but she got there and showed me the wayback to her place. On Friday, Steph had an excursion for class so I decided to go to Versailles while she was busy ...

... to build up to, I got sick shortly after arriving in Krasnoyarsk! Ah the Eiffel Tower at 8:30am! How Trocadero looks different at a different hour of the day! This time let's look at the pretty clouds coming in! Paris has been a big tease the past 2-3 days, you wake up and walk to the metro, the sky is a bright gray, there are a few clouds...the sunlight is beaming through, so you think the day is going to be a beautiful one, but then you step off the metro, walk up to your exit ...

... ASAP. The driver nodded and broke all land speed records. He really flew, achieving speeds of 170 Km/hr and I was white-knuckling the back seat. Then, ironically, he ran out of gas. We virtually coasted into a filling station as he apologetically put a cursory amount of gas into the tank and continued the race against the clock. I paid a premium ten euro to take an express route. The fare was $140 Euro ($210.00 USD~~the bus would have been 13 euro that I ...

I have always been interested in France. Also in the most beautiful villages of France. One of them is Gerberoy. Close (300 km./180 miles) to my home we went to visit it. It was desolated and abandonned until Henri-Eugene le Sidaner decided to reside there. He was a painter and other artists came and restored the village to its beauty it is now.

... interior seem airy and light, filling the church with light and color.  After the first collapse of the vault, the architects became less interested in size and more interested in decoration and total stability of the building.  Since it was still being added on in the 16th century, moments of Renaissance ornamentation can be ...

... swallow after the constant sunshine in Nice. After church we braved the rain and cold and headed for Notre Dame. It was beautiful and so incredible!!! It's so hard to fathom that it has been there for almost 900 years!! Absolutely incredible. So interesting to see the different carvings and architecture of the building, the beautiful stained glass, The beautiful depictions of the life of Christ. We walked around the city a little ...

... Stopped at a McDonalds to pee about halfway there and there was a kiddie toilet in the stall! The McDonalds was right next to a Leclerec which seems to be their version of Walmart and it was PACKED! We did finally make it to Giverny and after passing up the street to the hotel twice, we made it to Le Clos Fleuri. Claude showed us to our room which was huge and great. I've never seen quite such a bright bathroom - bright yellow toilet seat and no shower curtain - as ...
