France, Paris: What faster – get from Germany to Paris or find parking in Paris?

Hailbronne jerk to Paris – about 650 kilometers. Today, the weather is not so hot – rain places, and strong. After entering France, they were not kept, turned on some small path leading somewhere in the forest. Sheboldasik kneads legs studying the local flora.

Paris, Paris, we are soon! By the way, about the rain – when you go for some truck, it flies not finely dispersed dirt from under it, but clean water. I do not understand why we have in Russia if I got on the car in the rain, then it is guaranteed to be dirty, but there is no. For some reason, the dirt on the asphalt does not fall.

Today, first stopped police officers (French). Asked all the documents, for a long time they made something, asked to translate into the English name "Novgorod region.", Which is as a place for the birthplace of Sheboldasik, wished the happy path and went to other foreigners to catch. While we went, the household phrases were taught in French – it was just practiced on them. Looks like we are hardly, but understand. And, it seems, everyone understands everything perfectly in English, but they are responsible exclusively in French, infection;) Pink one-eyed god of travel on the paid roads of France requires offering with plastic cards. On the one hand, the nifiga is not clear, and on the other – on the Nativity you pumped somewhere and everything turns out.

Masons in champagne;) Although, the Google translator says that it is "champagne houses".

Sheboldasik collects a collection of windmills. For those who have not seen those like to understand the size, I will tell you something like this: the width of one blade (not length) is about 1.5-2.5 meters. It’s me so. Construction itself approximately with our 17-storey house. Or even more. Would be a closer look.

Salam, Paris! The movement is quite dense, but quite tolerant. Everything in general is clear, except for one – where to park. About this below;)

– Well, dudes, welcome!

If the Halembronne had a feeling that he was not in Germany, and Turkey, then there are more associations with Africa. Although we were not particularly there, except nominally.

So, it began. I got to our apartments, to the underground parking marked in advance, and there is no. What to do? Right, at least unload things and then look for another. However, on the street all parking, firstly, paid, and secondly, with a bunch of nuances and restrictions: it is impossible to stand on Wednesdays at 18:30, then only at a certain time, then still some long treatises are painted. Everything, of course, in French. I asked to help to figure out the man away from the parking lot, as he could explain everything, assured that it was here (in this place) today you can get up for free and leave the car until the morning. Showed how to use the parking office and even wanted to give his card to pay for parking, but it was somehow uncomfortable, I did not take. In general, 15 minutes told everything on broken English. Just in case, I asked in a nearby store – whether you can leave the car, but there in English in English, but it seemed to show the gestures that today you can. Okay, left, left to settle, in an hour they returned, so that they still take the car to underground parking. At the same time transferred what was written on a parking plate on our street. Apparently, today it is not possible to park at this time at all. Just gathered, saw a police officer who diligently walked down the street and recorded the numbers of cars, including. I tried to find out what it is for what, but that in English. Sort of waved that all okay. I did not understand what it was and why.

France, Paris What's faster - get from Germany to Paris or find parking in Paris

The most interesting detail in our apartment near Montmartre – Bed. The studio apartment was not so miniature, as we expected to live.

Opposite our window.

So, you remember that we have not yet resolved the issue with parking? We went to some reason, marked on the map, left a temporary car there and went to look for another parking on foot. The main task is to find cheaper. On the one on which they left, six days would cost us at 155 euros. Expensive. Initially, I calculated about 50-60 euros, but I trusted "Parkopedia", in which the data is completely irrelevant. So let’s go walk on our 17th district.

Nothing at all. Even more. Apparently, in Paris will be what to see and where to walk;)

People in cafes and restaurants sits literally on each other. And at every corner. I have not seen such a revival in restaurants even in a meadow day on Friday in Moscow.

So the cheapest thing is from parking, it is 95 euros for 6 days. What can you do, you have to leave the car here. Alas, in search of the place went all evening, but we walked a little. Now in the shower and sleep, sleep, sleep. Already up to 6 am!
