| Gare du Nord |
We went first thing to the Gare du Nord to meet John and Juliet Boyd off the first Eurostar from London. We were there in good time to look at the station as it now is and wonder what changes will be made here before the Olympics. The Boyds were travelling on a fairly tight schedule to the Gare de Lyon and on to Turin. We made the journey on RER line D quickly and there was time to have coffee and croissants in the Train Bleu before they boarded the TGV for the next leg of their journey.
We then walked along the old railway viaduct via the Place des Vosges into the Marais for lunch at L'As du Fallafel

| This is along the old viaduct that leads to the Bastille. Very pleasand indeed and above the traffic |

| In the past we have eaten at the take out window. This time we went inside to have a table. The maitre d' said we were going first class. |

| The fallafel plate had a great deal of turkey and lamb |

THey had quarter bottles of house wine. Very good but very filling.
