| Bourges |
Lyon still has enough attractions, as well as our friends, to keep us there another few days. Then it was the ‘slow’ train (intercity) up through the high country and over to the Loire once more. We broke our journey at Bourges, where we had had a happy day with Chris, Mathilde and Madeleine some years ago, and found it still a very interesting place to wander through.

| Combleux |
In Orléans we celebrated Mathilde’s birthday a few days early with a meal at Combleux, on the edge of Orleans, where a canal and the Loire meet - a place we had passed through and had coffee with Julian and Susan - at
La Marine, a restaurant run by a friend of a friend in Wellington. Excellent food. recommended!
Our last stop was Paris, where we had a few frantic days catching up with friends for both the midday and evening meals. We may not see our friends all that often but we do appreciate seeing them again.
We’d booked our last night at one of the airport hotels - a sound plan if the check-in is relatively early. It takes out all the stress of wondering if there will be a train/bus strike or delay on the metro at the very time you need them to be functioning!
