We took the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse, meaning high-speed train) from Lausanne to Paris. It departs from Lausanne Gare (station) where Andrew took the above photo of his "style" with Eyang.
Early morning we took the bus from Mont d'Or to Lausanne Gare. Then bought Sandwiches for the trip
Lausanne Gare (Station). Mom and eyang Kupu bought sandwiches from the stall, while dad and Andrew got their favourite poulet (chicken) curry sandwiches from the 24/7 mini market.
The train departed at exactly 9.22 am (that's Swiss!) and soon took on the mountain railways. Ariel wrote on her diary that exactly at 11:11 we passed the Swiss-France border.
Andrew likes to track the train path and speed using GPS. The TGV can go very fast, more than 260kph yet the ride is very smooth.
Andrew loves walking around the train and soon found the "Le Bar"...
Arriving in Paris, we took the Metro to Bir-Hakiem station and walked to the Hotel along the Seine River
The hotel is nice. Different lights on every floor and we were at the very high 29th floor.
